The New York Times reported earlier today that new documents show New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and his office went to great lengths in order to try and keep the pandemic death toll in nursing homes as obscured as possible.

?NYT: The effort by Cuomo’s office to obscure the pandemic death toll in nursing homes was far greater than previously known, with aides repeatedly overruling health officials over a span of at least 5 months.

Journalist Glenn Greenwald also reminds us of the role CNN played in all this:
Andrew Cuomo was hiding death counts in nursing homes and defrauding the public at far greater levels than previously known, at the same time that CNN was putting him on air to be heralded as a great and inspiring leader by his own brother, a CNN host.https://t.co/7sBwrQ0c8g

CNN's host not only aided his brother, the Governor, defraud the public by abusing CNN's airwaves to propagnadize for him, but Chris Cuomo himself is at the center of a scandal: his brother abused state resource to give him special COVID treatment.https://t.co/8K5PhvmV5w

CNN has refused to cover the scandal involving Gov. Cuomo's misuse of state funds to direct special treatment to his brother, their host, at the expense of needier sick people. To the contrary, they *defended* it.
How come people don't trust the media? Why does nobody watch CNN?

DNCNN knows no shame at all.
