"If Chris Cuomo wants to call into strategy sessions with his brother's aides, shouldn't he take a leave of absence from CNN?" Here's our conversation about the Cuomo brothers from today's @ReliableSources

[Rick Santorum @RickSantorum]

When I signed on with CNN, I understood I would be providing commentary that is not regularly heard by the typical CNN viewer. I appreciate the opportunity CNN provided me over the past 4 years. I am committed to continuing the fight for our conservative principles and values.

Don Lemon: “I’m not a political person...I’m a journalist”

Sure.

My colleague @NicRobertsonCNN had to take cover during his live report on the show tonight.

CNN's @ChrisCuomo apologizes: "I put my colleagues here, who I believe are the best in the business, in a bad spot. I never intended for that, I would never intent for that, and I'm sorry for that."

I had planned to speak with Pakistan’s foreign minister about paths towards a peaceful resolution between Israel and Hamas. Instead, he began the interview by invoking an anti-Semitic slur. Here’s the full interview. https://t.co/W8cOsWotvq

[Megyn Kelly @megynkelly]

Why does CNN think it’s no big deal that Chris Cuomo strategized against at least 7 women publicly accusing the NYS Guv of sex. harassment & assault? How would you feel if you were a female staffer on his team? What mattered wasn’t the truth, it was protecting the family, period.

How many times will @CNN look away from Chris Cuomo's conflicts? https://t.co/PGkCU4wm36 @latimes

CNN boss Jeff Zucker: "CNN strongly condemns the secret collection of any aspect of a journalist's correspondence, which is clearly protected by the First Amendment. We are asking for an immediate meeting with the Justice Department for an explanation." https://t.co/le6Z7fyA1n

BOMBSHELL: CNN’s Chris Cuomo Participated in Top-Level Strategy Calls With Brother Andrew About Scandals, Urged Him Not to Resign https://t.co/lUQ3ltLZyY

[Janice Dean @JaniceDean]

This is important.

It's obviously BS when Hannity advises Trump

And despite the familial tie, this is clear-cut wrong too

[Justin Baragona @justinbaragona]

Fox News is going to run buck wild with the Chris Cuomo story...and they absolutely should.

If the shoe were on the other foot, CNN would air breathless coverage about this inexcusable breach of journalistic ethics, especially if Fox didn't discipline the host at all.

[Jack Mirkinson @jackmirkinson]

Chris Cuomo:

—got secret access to COVID tests
—helped launder his brother’s reputation on TV
—privately advised Andrew about the extensive misconduct allegations against him and called them “cancel culture”

and still gets to stay on CNN!

[Dylan Byers @DylanByers]

This isn’t a defense of Cuomo, quite the contrary. It’s just to point out there are business calculations taking place that go beyond … *ethics in journalism.*

One of these calculations is the *appearance of ethics in journalism,* which is the variable here (see full thread >>

[Oliver Darcy @oliverdarcy]

The revelation that Cuomo had advised his brother during strategy sessions has vexed staffers inside CNN. Multiple CNN staffers told me they were bothered by Cuomo's conduct and the violation of traditional journalistic standards. https://t.co/Dg5QWxOxNu

NEW: NY AG’s office tells CNN — “We have informed the Trump Organization that our investigation into the organization is no longer purely civil in nature. We are now actively investigating the Trump Organization in a criminal capacity, along with the Manhattan DA.”
