Yeah, this just goes to show how blatantly the lamestream, FAKE NEWS media carry water for Democrat politicians. It is childishly pathetic.

The buzz around former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo was so hot at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic that some people were suggesting the Democrats swap out Joe Biden for Cuomo for the presidential race. As you know, he won an Emmy for his televised COVID updates. But now, in November of 2021, Politico is reporting on the “ridiculous demands” and “impossible requests” that were coming out of the governor’s COVID war room.
POLITICO ~ While Andrew Cuomo projected calm during his daily public briefings, with thousands dying as the virus ravaged New York City, public health officials were forced to find ways to work around him.

Politico reports:
Cuomo, who resigned in August, is facing renewed scrutiny over his response to the pandemic, including allegations that he downplayed Covid deaths while writing a pandemic memoir that netted him more than $5 million. New {my emphasis added} POLITICO interviews with several former state Department of Health officials, along with a trove of government documents released this month, suggest the former governor’s behavior behind closed doors was in direct contrast to the science-first, hyper-competent image Cuomo presented in his Emmy-winning 2020 press conferences. ...
In her interview with the attorney general’s office, [Elizabeth] Dufort described “a toxic work environment” in which state Health Department staff were not allowed to collaborate with their counterparts in the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene or other local health departments. The governor’s office would also arbitrarily override certain metrics, like which regions qualified for various Covid “zones,” which Cuomo used to delineate the level of reopening restrictions in certain regions of the state. And the office had ordered Department of Health staff to share incomplete data on Hydroxychloroquine with the White House. Both things, Dufort said, raised ethical concerns at the department.
“And the office had ordered Department of Health staff to share incomplete data on Hydroxychloroquine with the White House.” Huh.
Armed Liberal ~ Where was this story 18 months ago?
Politico wasn't interested in the real story 18 months ago because Cuomo was still a viable leader in the Democrat Party who needed protection. But, now that Cuomo has disgraced himself (repeatedly), Politico no longer feels the need to bury the story.
Daniel Watson ~ Interesting this only comes out now.
More "unsurprising" than "interesting" - given the brazen hypocrisy of the lamestream, FAKE NEWS media whores.
Telle ~ Amazing how the MSM facilitated the coverup and propped up Cuomo as the savior.
"Predictable," rather than "amazing."
Marc Wilson ~ Y'all were accessories and enablers to this.
Of course! The libtard media whores are accessories before, during, and after the fact on all Democrat crimes. That is their job description.
Perry Bullock ~ You told us he was America's boyfriend.
Well ... Cuomo was clo's wanna-be boyfriend, anyway.
