This morning, S.E. Cupp brought a very important story to her Twitter follower’s attention.
Guys, did you know that Andrew Cuomo wasn’t honest about COVID19-related nursing home deaths in New York?
New from @KFILE: Cuomo downplayed and deflected questions about nursing home data last spring. https://t.co/VvuwRds48M

If only there had been an institution in place to hold the powerful accountable

Right? Seriously.
You are shameless. Completely shameless.

Well, yes. When you work for CNN, that’s pretty much a job requirement.
Case in point:
As coronavirus infiltrated nursing homes and killed thousands of seniors last spring, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo downplayed lags in nursing home patient and death data and defended his administration from allegations of wrongdoing, a CNN KFile review shows https://t.co/Yz8KHywn2G

OK, so first of all:
Infiltrated.
I can't even. https://t.co/eHbW3Eh9wu— BasedWhiggery, Esq. (@RandomWhig) March 11, 2021
Even knowing that Andrew Cuomo ordered nursing homes (and group homes for the developmentally disabled) to accept patients who had tested positive for COVID19, CNN is still framing it in a way that keeps Cuomo’s hands clean. Just gross.
And by infiltrated, you mean actively sent there by executive order.

“Infiltrated” … I mean, covid positive patients WERE sent there intentionally so if this was a war against seniors I guess it was an infiltration. Cuomo is a master strategist
— The Hairy Chested Libertarian (@HCLthatswhatsup) March 11, 2021
Gross, CNN.
But aside from that, behaving as if they’ve blown the lid off of some story that literally everyone with eyes and ears knew about is just about as CNN as it gets.
No, it was shown a year ago. @KFILE got lapped and now is pretending to be in the lead. https://t.co/8Ub8gmTPAz

CNN downplayed it. Everyone else already knew.

CNN also downplayed and deflected questions about nursing home data last spring… and summer… and fall.
— The Streeter (@thestreeter) March 11, 2021
Like it was their job or something.
and CNN praised Cuomo as some conquering hero

Andrew Cuomo was CNN’s man of the hour 24/7.

CNN’s got brass ones. We’ll give them that much.
Timely work there, CNN. Kudos to Chris Cuomo for digging deep into this story in his interviews last year with Andrew Cuomo. Quite a coincidence they share the last name.

this is a very comprehensive list of the times that Andrew Cuomo downplayed nursing home deaths that leaves out any accountability on CNN's part for putting him on the air with his brother https://t.co/CqQJGW6TCp
— Greg Pollowitz (@GPollowitz) March 11, 2021
Well of course. It’s not like CNN to hold themselves accountable … why start now, after all this time?
As coronavirus infiltrated nursing homes and killed thousands of seniors last spring, CNN downplayed lags in nursing home patient and death data and defended Cuomo's administration from allegations of wrongdoing
