The prime-time host and brother of former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo was suspended Tuesday pending further review. Now he's gone permanently.

CNN has fired Chris Cuomo following revelations over his involvement in managing the sexual harassment scandal that forced his brotherThe WarnerMedia-owned cable news channel announced Cuomo’s dismissal in a statement issued Saturday that noted the company had brought in an outside law firm to review the situation.

“Chris Cuomo was suspended earlier this week pending further evaluation of new information that came to light about his involvement with his brother’s defense,” the company said.“We retained a respected law firm to conduct the review, and have terminated him, effective immediately. While in the process of that review additional information has come to light. Despite the termination, we will investigate as appropriate.

The termination of Cuomo, who joined CNN in 2013, ends a saga at the channel, where there was an internal struggle to rationalize the anchor’s actions, which were a clear breach of journalistic ethics. Later in the week, an outside law firm was brought in to review the 1,500 pages of testimony by Chris Cuomo and other materials, such as text messages. The probe found a significant violation of CNN’s journalistic standards that prohibit an employee from acting on behalf of a political figure or cause.

CNN Fires Chris Cuomo Good For Him and his Brother! Indeed there are NO accidents for Chris Cuomo and his brother, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to suffer God’s cosmic will and be forced to “die and rebirth”. Video Read more

This Dem says CNN was late, never should of aired Cuomo brothers uncoarked. Now fire Toobin. ➡️ “…CNN should fire whomever allowed Chris Cuomo to interview his governor brother live on air in broad daylight. That’s where his conflict of interest became material.” -jdelreal

CNN will never again air in my household! This is ridiculous and I hope ChrisCuomo sues for wrongful termination. BoycottCNN CancelCultureRunAmok

Adios Cuomosexuals

I am not going to call Chris Cuomo a Hero, however, he was in the process. We need more explanation NOW. This is a MAJOR LOSS for CNN. Great is a fair reporter.

It FOXNEWS continues

I. Would. Help. My. Siblings. Come and take me away NOW!!!

Chris was fired for comparing Biden to Trump on Afghanistan. CNN knew a year ago that Chris was protecting his brother, he said it on the air many times. CNN became Gleichschaltung

Two Italians are taken down. We need re-enactment of Paul Castallano.

What a joke!!!!!!!

The sbumcag twins.

How many Fox News Anchors use to work for CNN? Ijs

Lolz fredo

Two is a magic number . Two more swamp dwellers gone

Great guy. Stands up for his brother that’s a real brother

Mario must be so proud of his two kids lol!!!! Stupid fredo fuck should a wore a condom

I stand by Chris cuomo

As usual, the LA Times comes too late to announce news that truly independent media published well before. Plus ça change — plus la même m***e.

So angry CNN fired him!

So, when is Toobin going?

Now that ChrisCuomo is gone, everyone left at CNN is gay.

😆 😆 😆

Good news

Publish this :the HUD says they are idiots

A major mistake by CNN -- one they may not easily recover from...A political network?

Wrong!!

Father to son's, that must also go if your dad held a governorship or Congress you should not be able to run for the same office they held. This is not the UK

So much for 'family first.' It sounds nice, but it's really an amoral value system. We certainly have seen the worst examples it. The Cuomo brothers are simply carrying on the tradition. At best, they're a pair of bullies used to getting their own way. Bye-bye!

bye bye fredo! Now cnn replaces fredo with the masturbater !

Lives are ruined over this ! It's sad ! Just very sad ! I 🙏 for the Victims !

If that’s the case they should fire all Fox crew

He earned that dismissal with his dissembling and outright lies. Too bad. His career on TV is over. And I liked his pointed questions to guests. Good bye...

Cuomo's fired? How did Les Moonves, disgraced CBS head, avoid charges for sexual assault?

To not stick up for your sibling, regardless of the reason or accusation, seems like a person that lacks principle.

They both got railroaded

I’d help my brother too.. if l could

I won’t be watching CNN anymore .. Corrupt DA Letitia James you should be disqualified from running for Governor.

Rip.

He did what he had to do as a brother., Damn the political correctness etc. Brother was in trouble, so the brother stood by him and tried to help. What wd you do if your brother or sister were in trouble? Perhaps it will be for the best for both. sugg; both move families to Italy

Okay EverydayPJ

CNN is NOT in the business to make money.

I was tired of those two anyways

Good, covering up sexual harassment is a serious offense that should mean you lose your job. MayorOfLA ericgarcetti shouldn’t be enjoying consideration for the ambassadorship in India.

Where da cuomosexuals at? Y'all sat there for a whole year idolizing a couple of scumbags who used msm to cover up mass deaths and sexual harassment, and wanna act like none of this is happening (b/c of course y'all are always on the RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY).

End of day you stood by your brother;

I guess he and Alec will be selling their Amagansett homes soon.

Good start. The other 'hosts' who have scripted shows and not reporting NEWS should be canned too. Both CNN and FoxNews should just both clean house and stop pushing agendas.
