ABC News is ashamed. This network is desperate to cover up the fact that they have lost an ex-client. Good Morning AmericaChris Cuomo as cohost was involved deeply in an attempt to minimize, dismiss and investigate the accusations of Andrew Cuomo (ex-New York Governor) regarding sexual abuse.
CBS however, discovered shocking evidence against Chris on Tuesday, after having ignored the story. NBC also covered this story well, which is refreshing.
On Monday, ABC completely avoided the younger Cuomo’s role in the growing scandal, instead focusing entirely on the disgraced Andrew Cuomo. On Tuesday Good Morning AmericaFinally, journalists got to speak about their co-host. However, it only lasts 28 seconds.

NBC offered riveting coverage. Unlike the other networks, NBC reported on the story seriously Monday night, and Tuesday morning.

Jericka Duncan is our national correspondent and shares the latest news with us. Jericka: Good morning.
JERICKA Duncan: Gayle, Good morning. The New York Attorney General released almost nine hours of video footage of Andrew Cuomo’s testimony in July where he repeatedly, and at times combatively, denied claims of sexual harassment. Six of his accusers’ video testimony was also released. They detail Cuomo’s alleged misconduct. The release also included new written testimony and evidence about the ex-governor’s brother, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo. The transcriptions prove that the younger Cuomo had been more involved than was previously believed. These transcripts also reveal how the governor should deal with the claims and the crises swirling around. This was Chris Cuomo’s statement on CNN in August following the resignation of Governor.
CHRIS CUOMO : I’m not an adviser, but a brother. I was not in charge of any aspect. I was just there to hear and give my view. And my advice to my brother —
DUNCAN – But texts show that he kept in touch with Melissa DeRosa his top aide. In one, he begs to help the governor’s prep for responses and in another he says he will use his sources to find out about possible new accusers coming forward. An e-mail from CBS News regarding Norah O’Donnell’s interview with Andrew Cuomo’s former assistant executive was even forwarded to Chris Cuomo for his thoughts on the then-upcoming story. CNN stated that it will be reviewing the documents. CBS News received a statement from Chris Cuomo’s attorney confirming that he had spoken truthfully to investigators. Andrew Cuomo has denied any wrongdoing. His spokesperson stated that the attorney general, now running for New York State governor, had released edited footage of the testimony in an attempt to harm political opponents. This is a very important topic. Tony?
TONY DOKOUPIL – There’s a lot happening. It gets more complicated. We’ll keep following it, Jericka. We are very grateful.
