Top Cuomo aide suddenly resigns as firestorm engulfs NY governor . . . "Melissa DeRosa, who has been described as Cuomo’s most loyal aide, jumped ship; her departure comes less than a week after the governor’s office was rocked by the release of a report detailing the results of a state investigation into the numerous allegations brought by female subordinates that Cuomo acted in an inappropriate manner toward them including making sexual overtures." . . .
Time’s Up Co-Founder Resigns amid Backlash over Cuomo Ties "The co-founder of Time’s Up, an advocacy group created amid the #MeToo movement to combat sexual harassment, resigned on Monday following reports that she was involved in an effort to discredit a woman who accused New York governor Andrew Cuomo of harassment." . . .
Stelter Defends CNN, Chris Cuomo: 'A Lot of People' Have 'Sympathy' for Him "Sunday’s so-called Reliable Sources was the first real public statement CNN had put out about what they regarded as the “Chris Cuomo Conundrum,” as their chyron put it. Host Brian Stelter downplayed Cuomo’s massive breach of journalistic ethics and proclaimed there was a lot of “sympathy” for him at the network. He even suggested their non-punishment was punishment enough for Cuomo and dismissed anyone trying to hold him accountable as “bad-faith actors” spouting off “nonsense.' ” . . .
Pivoting to perversely praising CNN, Stelter looked to take a swipe at his favorite hate object, Fox News by contrasting how they handle hosts in controversy. “Telling a well-off host to hang out at the pool for a couple weeks is not a real punishment. It's B.S. when Fox sends a host off on ‘vacation’ during a scandal,” he sneered.
