Wall Street Journal reporter Jimmy Vielkind makes a great observation about the bubble that is New York:
There really, truly are only six people in the state of New Yorkhttps://t.co/MFDuFC7GSy

What do you mean, precisely?
(1) Andrew Cuomo once hired Allison Gollust as comms director
(2) Andrew Cuomo felled by sexual harassment allegations
(3) Chris Cuomo felled by investigation after helping Andrew grapple with allegations
(4) Investigation of Chris Cuomo finds Jeff Zucker relationship w Gollust— Jimmy Vielkind (@JimmyVielkind) February 2, 2022
(5) Not sure if Allison Gollust has a Mario Cuomo connection (probably; don't we all?), but Andrew and Chris are Mario's kids.

"Her new position will reunite her with Jeff Zucker, with whom Gollust worked during her long tenure as top media voice for NBC Universal."https://t.co/vAytWcmCN6

So she worked for Gov. Andrew Cuomo as communications director for just four months before leaving for CNN, reuniting her with Jeff Zucker.
Is this law of Cuomo applicable here? "If you shoot the bear, kill the bear"

It’s just a sordid orgy of lust and greed over there at CNN.

What a tangled web of scandals CNN has weaved. Secret affairs, pedophiles, indecent exposure, assaults in bars, coverups, family drama…..they have it all. CNN should just become the soap opera network. They seem more suited to that than news.

The New York Post was onto something last fall:
Allison Gollust, CNN exec tied to Gov. Cuomo, accused of being reason Chris gets a pass https://t.co/E05RMV3Pr1 pic.twitter.com/dMgl7cg1BY
— New York Post (@nypost) August 5, 2021
The Post reported:
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo doesn’t just have his brother Chris at CNN, he also has ties to one of its top executives — sparking accusations that it’s why the network has turned a blind eye to its star host’s involvement in his sibling’s sexual harassment scandal.
Allison Gollust was Cuomo’s communications director before becoming executive vice president at CNN — where she was even recently tapped to replace Jeff Zucker as Worldwide President, Fox News has noted.
Huh.

No kidding.
On a related note here’s CNN’s Brian Stelter explaining how ousted anchor Chris Cuomo is “trying to burn the place down.”
