There have been chinks falling in the media facade for awhile - some noteworthy but most have faded. Chris Cuomo (aka Fredo) from CNN has long been a beacon of tripe for that channel. He was suspended and then fired for using his sources and connections from his workplace to try to help his brother, the former governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, to discredit his accusers.
After being fired, Chris has gone public saying that the head of the channel, Jeff Zucker, knew about it all along. If this accusation has legs, then it might get interesting. Here, media stations have to meet rules and regulations to maintain their licenses. With all the other disgraced anchors, the heads of the networks could claim ignorance and that firing showed they took the regulations seriously. However, with Chris we've learned in the last year how vain, volatile, and insecure he is. He lashes out harshly at anyone who questions him. Granted, this case may end up going nowhere, but I'll keep a watch.
