Fox News’ Howard Kurtz and his MediaBuzz panel chastised CNN’s top brass for permitting Chris Cuomo’s habits to turn into a full-blown scandal for the network.
Kurtz, on this Sunday’s episode of his media-centered program, spoke to Fox Trade’ Charles Gasparino and Fourth Watch author Steve Krakauer about CNN’s resolution to fireplace Cuomo in light of the newly-printed actions he took to help his brother — former New York governor Andrew Cuomo — maintain sexual harassment accusations. CNN said they found “more information” about their former high-time host as part of their ongoing investigation, and now it has been suggested that one of Cuomo’s former colleagues is accusing him of sexual misconduct as neatly.
Asked for his ideas on CNN’s resolution, Gasparino mentioned the Chris Cuomo scandal represents “a failure of management in so a variety of ways.”
Chris stepped over the line, but you almost predict him to because that’s his brother and you know he’s close to your brother and you can also step over the line. I’m just wondering, did Jeff Zucker ever sit down and say to Chris, ‘we know that you just’re advising your brother…here are the foundations of the highway that you just need to do or take go away of absence.’ Remember, they offered him a go away of absence to try this, and that’s where the I believe the actual journalism ethics — or lack of ethics — are available in right here. What did Jeff Zucker do? What did he inform Chris? Did Chris just ignore these warnings? We need to to grasp all of that.
Krakauer followed up through breaking down Cuomo’s dishonesty to Zucker, and how his behavior threw out the principles of ethical journalism. Gasparino stored the point of interest on Zucker, however, asking “Why isn’t [the CNN chief] being held to blame here?…Why isn’t Jeff Zucker being held guilty for giving Chris Cuomo the rope?”
As the panel delved into Chris Cuomo’s attempts to dig up information on his brother’s accusers, Gasparino reiterated his level that it was once “dangerous sufficient” Cuomo used to be considering his brother’s strategy meetings.
“Jeff Zucker, why wasn’t he monitoring this from day one? What are you doing?” He requested.
