New York CNN said Saturday that anchor Chris Cuomo has been "terminated" by the network, "effective immediately."
The announcement came after an outside law firm was retained to review information about exactly how Cuomo aided his brother, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, when the then-governor was accused of sexual harassment.
CNN said in a statement: "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 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,"

So...it is OK to "pleasure yourself" in front of your female colleagues (Jeffrey Toobin), but it isn't OK to help your brother fight off a sexual harassment accusation. CNN has strange values.

Will CNN also “terminate” all of its “journalists” who perpetuated the Trump Russia HOAX? The Cuomo activities affected NY state, CNN and the Cuomos. The Trump Russia hoax affected the entire nation and the election, by perpetuating an egregious and intentional deception to manipulate the perceptions of millions. Don’t hold your breath re CNN because today’s media is corrupt to its core.

MSNBC also has low standards. Maybe he can replace Brian Williams.

Dammit, I was really looking forward to getting some more workout tips. I will miss his insightful commentary and light banter with Don LeMMon (or however Tucker pronounces his name). (#sarcasm)

I wonder if fake news CNN will report the additional facts they discovered. It is news after all.

Rrrrrreally, Mr. Potato Head? (I think, as Fredo Cuomo, second son of Don, excuse me, Mario the Pious, someone will make CNN an offer they can't refuse. Of course, I could be Wong Fu.)

Chris "Cockroach" Cuomo gets squashed.
Perhaps his brother, Andrew "Nursing Home Murderer/Sexual Harasser" will comfort him.

Only reason I can think they would fire him for is if CNN thought they could be liable and be sued by some of the ladies that Chris used his media sources to investigate.

Chris will probably be hired by Biden's 'Paul Bunyan Accountability dept' at the DOJ.

He'll run for Governor now. And a lot of people with only partial recall will vote for him, simply because they recognize the name, even though they don't rightly recall what they remember ABOUT the name.

I am experiencing a great sense of schandenefreude on hearing the news of Chris Cuomo’s termination from CNN. I hope his far more loathsome brother, Andrew “Evil Eyes” Cuomo, also receives his well-deserved comeuppance for murdering thousands of defenseless elderly people in New York nursing homes.
As my late Italian grandfather would say: “Arrivederci, Cuomo!”

Opposing Trump is like unearthing a cursed Egyptian tomb. Bad things just sort of happen to you afterwards.

Wow, I am shocked. I would have put money on Cuomo having a two-week "suspension" (which was really a two-week paid vacation) while CNN waited for something to distract the peasants and put this on the back burner of "news".
This must be really, really bad!!!

Seltzer probably greased the skids as the Lil Doughboy wants the job. Cuomo's low ratings will look unattainable. Anyway, whoever allowed Chris to interview or report on stories involving his brother should have been fired long ago.

I guess when the deomrat mob trashcanned his bro for whatever reason, little brother was no longer considered an assssssssssset, thereby offending dozens of regular viewers. Will his replacement now be named after a fruit, for balance, you know? Maybe Wendy Watermelon or Suzi Cumquat or maybe after a confection? Mizz Mabel Meringue? The Lemon Meringue show? Why not? No one takes them seriously anyway. They could triple their audience if they promised a pie in the face to Don Leemon sometime in every show, especially if the occasional pie had a crowbar in it. He's such an insufferable xxxx.

I think CNN should hire a conservative to take his place. Would likely improve their ratings.

I’m still trying to figure out who Cuomo brothers angered to have been fired and forced to resign. Face it they are living examples how the communist operate everyday. Don’t get me wrong, they got some of what they deserve.
