CNN'S DEAD MAN WALKING? CHRIS CUOMO'S AID TO EMBATTLED BROTHER MIGHT END HIS ANCHOR JOB
NEWT GINGRICH: The fact is, by any reasonable journalistic standard, Chris Cuomo has to go. First of all, because he lied to his viewers… If he said to his viewers I’m doing everything I can to help my brother, he is my brother and I’m going to recuse myself on air and not talk about it and you all know I have a bias, he would be fine. And the fact that he happened to use every asset he had to help his brother, would be fine… I think the clincher is he directly lied to the viewers on CNN, and I think it’s pretty hard for CNN to tolerate that and keep him on. Again, senior management of these big corporations make lots of decisions that you and I would be surprised by.
