BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – 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.
“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,” Stelter said. “The state and this network is a lot better off without those two whores.”
Chris Cuomo responded to Stelter in a tweet, and called Stelter’s show “a low rated disaster” and “only roosters watches that egghead on tv… for obvious reasons.”
