I do wonder what the end game is?

Appreciate that question. This has surpassed a reaction to a knucklehead officer killing Floyd whom no one has defended.

The video loses credibility the moment is labeled Cuomo a journalist.  He's not paid to be an unbiased journalist on his show and the show isn't presented as straight news.  He's in the vein of Hannity or Carlson: people with opinions that get a platform.  Nothing more.

President Trump on Tuesday blasted Chris Cuomo for a profanity-laced video showing the CNN anchor threatening to throw a man down the stairs. Trump said the journalist resembled a “total out-of-control animal” and, in tweets, suggested he would not be allowed weapons under “red flag” laws that help authorities take guns from people deemed dangerous.

Chris Cuomo, the CNN anchor and brother of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, announced Tuesday that he has tested positive for coronavirus after experiencing a fever, chills and shortness of breath.

The journalist said he is feeling well and will continue to anchor his nightly show from his basement, where he is quarantining away from the rest of his family.

The journalist, taking off his baseball cap, joked that his hair has not been doing great, and it's been tough to keep his locks the way he wants them.

Now, the journalist is working on getting back to normal life: He's slowly re-introducing workouts, spending 20 minutes on the elliptical and going on a 25-minute walk around the neighborhood with Cristina. Both were successfully completed without breaking out into fever.

You're using Wikipedia now?  I can write that Chris Cuomo is the President of China right now on there.

As for their respective shows (Cuomo, Carlson, etc), they are not presented as journalism.  To say otherwise shows you don't know the difference.  Cuomo will tell you that flat out.  He's said as much on his SiriusXM show.

There is hardly any straight news these days. Only opinions. Unfortunate. Furthers America's divide and it appears they are content with doing so. Sad.
