Summary
CNN anchor Chris Cuomo was recently placed on indefinite leave by the network for his involvement in the damage control operations of his brother, former NY governor Andrew Cuomo, over the last year. A trove of documents revealed that Chris had overstepped ethical lines to help protect Andrew while he was under fire for allegations of sexual harassment.
Why did the younger Cuomo wade into the political muck, putting his job at risk? And will CNN hold him accountable?
Guest: Erik Wemple, media critic for the Washington Post.
