On Sunday night, a senior staff member of Governor Andrew Cuomo Announce resignationBasically, every media reported it as a sign that allies were fleeing the embattled governor, as the loss of sexual harassment scandals became more and more obvious.
The fact that was not mentioned in the report was that the staff member Melissa DeRosa was the person who led the accuser of Cuomo, controlled the damage as much as possible, and even helped to collect opposition research on the accuser. What is also missing is that De Rosa is responsible for hiding the total number of deaths in the nursing home from the public, which in itself quickly became a scandal.
Of course, the media is not very excited about the unfolding of this story. They see Cuomo as the main success story of the COVID-19 pandemic, constantly comparing his “great leadership” with Donald Trump’s. Because of the reports he received, Cuomo won an Emmy Award and an important book deal. It also helped his brother, Chris Cuomo of CNN, Immorally He was given the main broadcast time in the form of a friendly family chat, which was very useful for public relations, but provided little actual news value.
The major media like Andrew Cuomo, they must now report on sexual harassment scandals, which absolutely breaks their hearts. They don’t want to end like this. They want him to become a winner through all this.
These media owe their audiences apologies and promises, and they will reflect in their hearts how their misrepresentation of reports caused this entire scandal. Yes, with or without the help of the media, Andrew Cuomo is obviously a monster, but because they first portrayed him as such a hero, they had to ignore the obvious signs of problems and abuse.
Over the past few weeks, Cuomo’s accusers have continued to emerge, but they have hardly been reported. The media has never really been interested in following this model. They absolutely abandoned the nursing home death scandal as soon as possible. They don’t want to have anything to do with anything. In the end, their support for Cuomo actually makes him look more like a monster, because he still has a lot to fall into in the eyes of the public.
If the media has any sense of shame and any dedication to the actual ethics of journalism, they will strive to become better than before. But you and I know they won’t do that. Just as they created the legitimacy of Donald Trump’s campaign by giving Donald Trump millions of dollars worth of free airtime, they created an environment in which Cuomo could fall.
The problem is that the media does not have the slightest sense of shame and refuses to learn lessons over and over again. When a normal person sees this situation, they will stop and think about whether they regard a person who has turned into a monster as an idol, is there a problem with their judgment. But the people in these national newspapers have no regrets at all. A Democrat turned out to be a monster, and they move on to the next person they can love and admire. Back and forth.
