Now that CNN has suspended Chris Cuomo indefinitely “pending further evaluation,” surely Mr. Reliable Sources Brian Stelter is ready to address the scandal head-on, right? No need to pussyfoot around this thing anymore, right?
Of course not, you sillies! He’s going to avoid it for as long as he possibly can:
Remember the sense of shock when Trump admitted he was Covid positive and then was rushed to Walter Reed 18 hours later? Patients don't usually go downhill that fast. Well, on the Meadows timeline, his hospitalization (six days later) makes a lot more sense.

Is Donald Trump’s personal COVID19 timeline really more important than yet another massive and consequential media scandal at your network, Brian?
Infuriating how so many enabled this monster https://t.co/sEm21ehjOh

How about all the people who enabled Andrew Cuomo? Like CNN anchor Chris Cuomo? And what is Stelter doing if not enabling both Cuomos by refusing to condemn Chris Cuomo’s blatant and gross violation of media ethics?
No idea what the point of mentioning Trump here is, but I’m assuming all CNN employees have been trained to throw his name in randomly. Such as: “Yeah, & give me a large fry, that’s probably what Trump would order.” https://t.co/V2ZRMbSiR2

Nothing — not even go-to bogeyman Donald Trump — can shield CNN from the mess they’re in right now.

They're going to try and tweet through Cuomo and memory hole it
A huge media story and it implicates more than just Cuomo as a member of the media colluding with politicians https://t.co/TVxxEksM5A

Yep.
And Stelter will just sit there and pretend that he and CNN are solidly stunning and brave.
Who's gonna write the first "CNN's suspension of Cuomo shows that establishment media holds itself accountable and therefore deserves trust" take?
