As the most reliable and balanced news aggregation service on the internet, DML News App offers the following information published by Fox News:
CNN’s media correspondent Brian Stelter addressed the firing of its primetime anchor Chris Cuomo.
The liberal network issued a statement Saturday evening announcing it had terminated Cuomo “effective immediately,” coming just days after he was suspended pending a review of the damning revelations from the New York Attorney General’s office about his involvement in protecting his scandal-plagued brother, ousted Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
The article goes on to state the following:
“While in the process of that review, additional information has come to light. Despite the termination, we will investigate as appropriate,” CNN stated.
As the news broke Saturday afternoon of Cuomo’s firing, CNN hosts Jim Acosta and Brian Stelter weighed in.
“Chris Cuomo, one of the most popular anchors at CNN, one of the best-known names in television news, violated journalistic ethics and norms not once or twice, but many times and that’s ultimately what is the result of today’s news, Jim,” Stelter said during the live television announcement.
“What we didn’t know until tonight, Jim, is that an outside law firm came in and went through the thousands of pages of text messages and sworn testimony that was released back on Monday. So there was clearly something in those documents that was found to be a serious breach of standards and practices,” he added.

Stelter tweeted another clip from the segment, as he said, “I think this may be a situation where it was death by a thousand cuts, where there were just so many headaches time and time again involving Chris Cuomo that even though many viewers loved ‘Cuomo Prime Time,’ looked forward to his show, he was causing so many headaches for the network and for CNN staffers that ultimately this decision was reached.”
“I do think, you know, this is a moment where journalistic ethics are at play. I know there were many CNN staffers very unhappy with the situation, very frustrated by Chris Cuomo. At the same time, Jim, I was hearing from some fans of Chris, some viewers who said we understood he was looking out for his family,” Stelter added.

CNN released the following statement Saturday:
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. We have 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.

No excuses for Cuomo, now fire put pulling Tobin too. Both are a disgrace to CNN and journalism.
Dont rest on your laurels gentlemen hopefully YOU’RE next
The cuomos are meant to go down to their basement and stay there !! Worthless pos !
LETS GO BRANDON!!!’
And take dementia joes and Alec Baldwin too !!!
LETS GO BRANDON!!!
This is a start, don’t stop with just Cuomo
The whole thing is comical. They fired him for protecting his family. That’s fine. He used his position to help the Love Gov. But stop acting like this is some kind of revelation. We’ve all known it all along.
Fox should hire him to replace Juan and Heraldo as the token libtard. To see Tucker, Gutfeld, Bongino, & Tomi Lahren humiliate him once a day would be fun. I’d watch a little of that.
Haha!! Me, too!
There’s 🍋 and exposure Toobin too! They need to go next.
Just with Andrew Cuomo being in Chris Ciomo’s CNN segment last year, and joking with the giant Q tip re. covid test was enough for getting fired. All while thousands of Covid deaths in nursing homes and happening all around the city. When I saw that segment and they were making jokes, my blood was boiling from of how upset and anger it caused me. The indifference, flippancy, narcissism and arrogance of these two is enough make your blood boil!
Good that Cnn fired Chris and I hope no pay and the same goes for asshole Biden who has ruined our country.
I am so glad that they fired him and I hope with no pay and Chris should have left his brother alone
Should have been a long time ago.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer person. It’s about time
Lemon should be next!
Let the feeding frenzy start. They will all eat their own
One down, many more to go… who’s next?
Maybe they will start taking their job seriously.
Journalistic integrity and cnn are words NEVER meant to be stated in the same sentence.
I am curious as to what exactly the
“outside law firm” found that made the movers at cnn fire him. No mention of any facts from them. I cant imagine how bad cuomo screwed up to make the powers that be dump him so quickly AND so publicly. I bet the details will never be brought to light.
He will go to MSNBC where the has beens go,like lying Brian.
Did the word ETHICS come out of their mouths? I bet they threw up in their mouths a bit when they actually said it. Man, I need to send them a thank you tweet for the good laugh.
Karma! Como’s, Baldwin, Griffin.
