Chris Cuomo was a dreadful journalist. He was tendentious, unfair, careless, ignorant, arrogant, helplessly partisan, and seemingly dishonest. But on this day, we should remember the one time he was right, and it was kind of great.
Today is a good day to recall Cuomo’s good moment because he was just fired by CNN. Of course, CNN should have fired him long ago for being awful at his job. Becket Adams has an abridged (yet still lengthy) list of Cuomo’s offenses against decency and journalistic ethics. Some highlights include Cuomo’s defense of Katie Couric’s inexcusable misrepresentation about gun owners, saying that Obama had no scandals, and arguing that the First Amendment doesn’t protect whatever Cuomo deems “hate speech.”
