Chris Cuomo: I Didn't Mean it That Way

A day after Chris Cuomo said, “I don’t like what I do professionally. I don’t think it’s worth my time.” he appears to be walking it back.

“I didn’t mean it that way,” the TV host insisted on satellite radio of his diatribe the day before in which he said he is no longer interested in “trafficking in things that I think are ridiculous.”

That includes “talking to Democrats about things that I don’t really believe they mean” and “talking to Republicans about them parroting things they feel they have to say.”

But Tuesday, he claimed of the rant, “It wasn’t about CNN. It wasn’t about me wanting to leave my job.” He said critics have shot back, “‘Yeah, but you said it.’ “‘But how did you mean it?'” he said people should ask him.

Cuomo said he was addressing “my frustrations about journalism and being worthy enough” to be part of the profession.

He said he will continue to follow a story anywhere “because of my commitment to the job. “And I am so proud of the team,” he said of his colleagues at the network. “I’m happy to be one of their teammates. … And you don’t hear that from a lot of anchors. “I can’t believe how lucky I am to be working with people like this,” Cuomo said.

Sounds like Jeff Zucker might have phoned him.

Just saying….
