The cable news giant spent lavishly on its primetime star until it emerged he had helped his brother respond to a billowing scandal
CNN found itself at the center of the US news cycle this week, after its primetime host Chris Cuomo was abruptly fired for helping to shape the response of his brother, the former
New York governor Andrew Cuomo to multiple accusations of
Sexual Harassment.
The younger sibling, 51, lost three jobs in as many days – as
CNN host, Sirius satellite radio jock, and a contract for a book provisionally titled Deep Denial – and now faces an investigation by outside lawyers for CNN, while the elder Cuomo, 64, faces a
Justice Department investigation stemming from a damning report issued by New York’s attorney general.
