Looking at a report in the New York Times, it is easy to believe that if Chris Cuomo worked at news outlet, other than CNN he would be out of a job.

If the details are correct, Chris Cuomo did not cross the line, he completely obliterated it.

According to the Times story, the CNN host participated in strategy discussions and shared a tip on at least one woman who had accused his brother, Andrew Cuomo, of sexual harassment.

The Times writes that thousands of pages of new evidence and sworn testimony released on Monday show the extent to which former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo relied on a group of allies, including his younger brother, the CNN host Chris Cuomo, to strategize how to deflect and survive a cascade of sexual harassment charges that eventually engulfed him.

As the evidence mounted against his brother, Chris pressed to take on a greater role in crafting his brother’s defense, including phoning into strategy calls and using his media contacts to keep tabs on reporters pursuing stories about the governor. At one point, he even ran down a secondhand tip that another woman accusing the governor of unwanted advances at a wedding was lying.

It appears that Chris Cuomo went way over the journalism line when it comes to advising his brother

Just a quick glance at the Twitter comments shows that many people feel exactly that way and that is on both sides of the political spectrum.

It is fair to say that if Chris Cuomo worked at almost any other media outlet, he would be out of a job. But, he works at CNN and works for Jeff Zucker, so there is a chance (some would say a good chance) he keeps his job.

The bottom-line….Chris Cuomo needs to be exited at CNN and if he isn’t, Jeff Zucker should be.

It really is that simple.
