Report: Cuomo Admin Being Investigated by U.S. Attorney, FBI Over COVID-19 Response
Despite the fact that Governor Andrew Cuomo’s disastrous COVID-19 nursing home policy led to the deaths of thousands of New Yorkers, news networks remain fixated on his growing sexual harassment scandal.
A new study from Newbusters found that “from the first network evening news mention of Cuomo’s nursing home scandal nearly ten months ago (on the May 11, 2020 NBC Nightly News) through Sunday night, the ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts have devoted a mere 15 minutes, 35 seconds to the story — most of which came after the January 28, 2021 report by the state’s Attorney General, Letitia James, charging that the Cuomo administration vastly under-reported nursing home deaths.”
Contrast this with the past 11 days, in which the same networks spent a whopping 44 minutes, 14 seconds covering Cuomo’s sexual harassment allegations.
The media should care way more about a nursing home death scandal than sexual harassment accusations

“While both stories painted the Governor and his team in a highly unfavorable light, there’s no question Cuomo administration’s negligent nursing home policies had a much wider and more terrible impact,” writes Newsbusters. “Yet that story was, inexplicably, getting far less attention from the national news networks — even as the overall pandemic had dominated newscasts for a full year.”
Between the growing scrutiny over his nursing home policy and the increasing sexual harassment allegations, Cuomo has come under fire for both scandals in recent weeks—with many, including the New York state Senate Majority Leader calling for the governor’s resignation.
Sales of Cuomo’s book about his leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic have also plummeted and his publisher, Crown Publishing Group announced it has “paused active support” for the book due to the scandals plaguing the governor.
“Pending the ongoing investigation, we have paused active support of ‘American Crisis’ and have no plans to reprint or reissue in paperback,” Crown Publishing Group representative Gillian Blake said in a statement.
