The Continuing Saga of Chris Cuomo

As a "media personality," he may have snapped when the limelight was extinguished. Chris Cuomo: 'I Was Going to Kill Everybody, Including Myself' After CNN Firing

CNN fired this half of the Cuomo Brothers Comedy Team. And he was pissed. He was going to "burn the place down," and apparently he knew were some of the bodies were buried.

A few short months after Cuomo was fired, CNN president Jeff Zucker unexpectedly resigned from CNN due to his failure to disclose a consensual relationship with CNN executive vice president and chief marketing officer Allison Gollust. The relationship was reportedly an open secret at CNN, and Cuomo was the one who blew the whistle on the relationship.

But his appeal to "journalistic ethics" (what are those, exactly?) is what makes this story special.

“I will never be [No. 1] again,” Cuomo conceded. He is now suing CNN for $125 million, claiming the network is guilty of “smearing” his journalistic integrity. It’s cute the way this man-child who used to interview his own brother on CNN claims to have journalistic integrity.

So which part of "journalistic ethics" were at play when he was kidding his brother about having a large nose, on a prime-time "news" show?

As for the 63,000 viewers of Chris Cuomo’s NewsNation show — dear God, that’s a mere fraction of the audience for many YouTubers. “CodyB Fireworks” has 463,000 subscribers and got more than 2 million views on one of their fireworks shows in July. Tim Pool has more than a million YouTube subscribers and routinely gets more than 150,000 views on his videos. Police Activity has more than 4 million YouTube subscribers and frequently gets more than a half-million views on their videos. So not only is Chris Cuomo’s audience smaller than a YouTube commentator like Tim Pool, but he’s also got fewer viewers than either Cody’s fireworks or a YouTube channel that’s just bodycam footage of police shootings.
