Mainstream Media Scream: ABC reporter cheers Cuomo for president
This week’s example of the media’s lefty tilt features ABC’s David Wright reminiscing about the late New York Gov. Mario Cuomo's toying with a presidential bid in 1992.
On Friday’s "Good Morning America," Wright sounded like he was endorsing Cuomo, who died last week.
“You know, I grew up here in New York state at a time when Mario Cuomo was governor and would have loved to have seen him run for president. He could be spellbinding,” said Wright.
Media Research Center Vice President of Research Brent Baker explains our pick for the week’s best Mainstream Media Scream:
Mele Kalikimaka: Taxpayer's gift to Obama is $470,000 a day Hawaiian vacation
The first family's Christmas vacation to Hawaii two years ago cost over $8 million, says Judicial Watch.
“Mario Cuomo was the Barack Obama of the 1980s for the press corps, but he never fulfilled their dream by running for president. Yet, as Wright demonstrated, he still lives on in their imaginations of what could have been – a yearning they’ve never shown for a conservative.”
