How Chris and Andrew Cuomo's on-air comedy routines compromised CNN

The news network implicitly endorsed the former New York governor amid accusations of sexual harassment and corruption

For months, CNN's primetime anchor, Chris Cuomo, refused to cover the multiple scandals surrounding his brother, the former New York governor Andrew Cuomo.

Chris Cuomo said it would be a conflict of interest for him to report on the sexual harassment, corruption and misuse of public funds his brother had been accused of. But many wondered how CNN could justify what amounted to a blackout of one of the nation's top news stories during the news network's most-watched time slot.
