Ah so it finally started

So Cuomo is suing CNN for firing him and these are quoted from the filing. From NPR: "As CNN has admitted, network standards were changed in a calculated decision to boost ratings. When those practices were called into question, Chris was made the scapegoat," "It should by now be obvious to everyone that Chris Cuomo did not lie to CNN about helping his brother," Freedman said. "In fact, as the limited information released from WarnerMedia's investigation makes clear, CNN's highest-level executives not only knew about Chris's involvement in helping his brother but also actively assisted the Governor, both through Chris and directly themselves." And from FOX: "CNN has a long-established pattern and practice of selectively enforcing its policies based on cynical calculations of public perception," the filing on Wednesday read. "Indeed, CNN fostered a culture in which 'exceptions' to the network’s standards and practices were routinely sanctioned, and that culture began at the top with Zucker and Gollust. As long as CNN’s ratings would not be hurt, Zucker and Gollust were more than willing to overlook major transgressions by CNN personalities such as Don Lemon and Jake Tapper, or even to engage in blatant misconduct themselves." It's a sad state of affairs when ratings and politics is more important than truth in the news media.
