Cuomo Controversy Should Prompt Questions About Other Offenders

Kylee Zempel of the Federalist looks beyond the headlines involving outgoing New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

Tuesday's resignation signals it's the end of the road for Cuomo - for now. But if the media can sit and twiddle its thumbs - or worse, kiss keister and perform comedy sketches with giant Q-Tips - while thousands of elderly folks die in New York nursing homes and women in the double digits tell of a gropey governor's disgusting habits, we must ask: How many other Andrew Cuomos is the media covering for?
Covering for elite misconduct is a perpetual problem in the media; it didn't start with Cuomo. As Federalist Political Editor John Daniel Davidson wrote on Tuesday, the media did the same with Harvey Weinstein, Jeffrey Epstein, and Theodore McCarrick. Don't forget Bill Clinton or Roman Polanski, either. ...
... The media provided the same cover in the '80s and '90s for Ted Kennedy. Allegedly drunkenly rubbing his genitals against an unwitting waitress in the private room of a restaurant in the infamous "waitress sandwich" episode wasn't enough to get the media's attention. Nor was plummeting his car off a bridge and leaving a woman for dead in the passenger seat as it sank to the bottom of a pond.
The media framed the "accident" as something Kennedy's political opponents would use against him in campaigns - your stereotypical "Republicans pounce" spin. "His big heart, sharp mind, and boundless energy were gifts he gave to make our democracy a more perfect union," Bill Clinton would later say, with Barack Obama adding that Kennedy was "the greatest United States senator of our time."
We watched the corrupt media put their fingers in their ears during the sexual assault accusations against now-President Joe Biden too. ...
... The media's disregard for potential victims and concurrent air cover for the left's powerful and promiscuous ruling class means more Andrew Cuomos are surely lurking with impunity in the media vacuum's darkness - you know, where democracy dies.
