Ex-star anchor’s debut on NewsNation doesn’t exactly change the game as he moves to network with a fraction of his former viewership
Chris Cuomo sounds more like a coach of a failing minor league team than a news anchor as he steps into a new job at fledging cable network NewsNation, striding across his new, smaller studio and shouting “Are you ready to change the game? Good let’s get after it.”
It’s only been 10 months since Cuomo was fired from CNN, after it emerged he was helping his disgraced brother, the former New York governor Andrew Cuomo who faced accusations of sexual harassment – allegations that he denies. The New York attorney general’s office investigation found that Chris had used his journalistic contacts to try to get information about his brother’s accusers. These interventions went far beyond what CNN management were aware of and breached journalistic ethics.
