Chris Cuomo Unloads On CNN: ‘Trafficking In Things That I Think Are Ridiculous’

“I don’t want to spend my time doing things that I don’t think are valuable enough to me personally,” Cuomo said, according to the New York Post. “I don’t value indulging the rationality, hyper-partisanship.”

Maybe this was the final straw for Chris Cuomo? Lol

None of the major news networks (FOX, CNN or MSNBC) are doing "hard news" as we'd have defined it a generation ago. They all mix news, entertainment and opinion in a way designed to push ratings.

That said, I think Trump presents unusual problems for even dedicated journalists. I've seen discussions on how media should be covering Trump, even if the goal is to be objective and dispassionate. While all Presidents, and all politicians, engage in framing of issues and spin, Trump is the first President (I can't say politician, because there have been innumerable ones that I'm not even aware of) that brings a marketing and reality TV ratings focus to the job. He's trying to game the media for his own benefit and he's also happy to use propaganda and lies with abandon because he realizes he has a hardcore support base (this is not meant to include all conservatives or all Republicans) that will draw their reality from whatever he says and that media that uncritically just "reports" what he says will give anything he says the sheen of legitimacy (that, say, a random businessman spouting off would not have). So, in that atmosphere, do you uncritically just report anything he says or do you flag things that are factually untrue, even if that leads to howls that you're not being "objective" and just reporting what the President says?

As some use the argument that The President Is a role model for a specific demeanor, that very same model can be used for real journalism.

The media should be held to a specific standard for those that make that claim for the President no?

They should have the capacity to stay on point, call balls and strikes and keep advocacy to commentators like Rachel Maddow or her polar opposite Sean Hannity.

"Calling balls and strikes" seems like a pretty good analogy to pointing out factual inconsistencies or fabrications. That expression specifically means to judge whether something is on the mark or not.

So yes, I agree--reporters should report, call balls and strikes (point out things that aren't factual) and not advocate for whether policies are good or bad. Advocacy, as you say, should be left to the pundits, not the reporters.

I read his meltdown. It's fascinating that you think that's a red pill moment. You don't even live in reality. You're still pumping the gaslighting, lies and misinformation for whatever personal gain.
 
Fact:
CNN is biased to the left.
Trump decisions continue to kill people.

Both are true.
