Right wingers, why did Andy Cuomo's COVID response become so popular?

TENS OF THOUSAND seniors dead thanks to (Cuomo)

Just kind of decided to make something up there, didn't ya?

You must be a CNN viewer. Otherwise, you'd know between 15,000 and 20,000 nursing home residents in New York state died because of Andrew Cuomo and the shitstain with the big q-tip on CNN.

I see you like making up stuff, too.

What's the number you're comfortable with?

the number "we don't know". Obviously.

 

[Mr. Friscus]

This is a question for right wingers, I want to see who if any out there have an objective understanding of the "how" and "why's" of what happened. It's a very simple question. Why did the public gravitate in such a positive way to Gov Cuomo during the early stages of the pandemic?

An intelligent reply will address the question and answer it honestly. The answer is pretty simple IMO.

A low IQ reply will attack Cuomo for the nursing home situation and try to redirect the topic of the thread.

Lets see who is who.

Left wingers, please give the RWers the opportunity to answer the OP and then feel free to respond in kind.

I think for a few reasons.

1. He's a Democrat, so he got massively glorifying coverage
2. He's not just a Democrat, but a loud, assertive possible future presidential candidate for the Democrat party, so the media will do their best to make sure he's seen positively, strongly, and courageously.
3. His state was absolutely mauled with the worst numbers in the nation (as he mocked and critiqued other states), but he was quick to blame Donald Trump for everything, and media love that story, so they reported it non-stop, 24/7 headline news
4. He didn't release the real numbers, so even though his numbers were already horribly bad, he was cooking the books.
5. His brother is a big name at CNN, and they would give primetime positioning so they could have brother to brother admiration/playfights, and everyone would view him as some sort of personable figure.
6. He wrote a book on how well he did, and the media didn't think once to question if he actually did a good job at all.. and they simply told the world that he deserved the praise he gave.. himself (LOL!)

He was kept afloat artificially. If he was judged by his numbers, he'd be seen as he is, probably the worst Governor in the USA in dealing with COVID. It took a MASSIVE scandal for any of his artificial bubble to pop, and even though people within his administration are outing his corruptness, CNN and such are still NOT reporting on it. Simply incredible.

Cuomo should be, by any measure, investigated.

His real crime isn't even the deaths as we were all sort of in the dark due to the lies by the WHO, but the cover up. Won't sit well.

I agree, if details show he was complicit with a cover up then he should be done.

That is what they show? No?

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's top aide admits withholding COVID-19 nursing home data amid Justice Department inquiry

Democratic lawmakers are facing increased pressure to rein in New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's emergency powers after reported comments by his top aide.

I don't see where they hid data. This controversy in these articles is between Cuomo's admin and the NY state legislature as they requested data and Cuomo denied giving it to them because they were working with Trumps DOJ which they were worried was targeting them to politicize COVID deaths. They wanted to resolve the DOJ issue before sharing with the State legislature. Is that how you understand it or are you seeing something that I'm not?

These were the relevant quotes that the article was based on. Again, tell me if im missing something.

• 
  We explained that the Trump administration was in the midst of a politically motivated effort to blame Democratic states for COVID deaths," he said Thursday evening. "And that we were cooperating with federal document productions -- and that was the priority. And now that it is over, we can address the state Legislature. That said, we were working simultaneously to complete the audit of information they were asking for."
• 
  "We were in a position where we weren’t sure if what we were going to give to the Department of Justice, or what we give to you guys, what we start saying, was going to be used against us while we weren’t sure if there was going to be an investigation,"

How do you explain what his aide said? Do you believe she is lying?

No I'll take her at her word... Where do you think she said that they hid nursing home data and from who? I'm not seeing that in her quote

Cuomo is a high level Democrat who might one day run for president. The liberal news media is the propaganda wing of the Democratic Party so it portrayed Cuomo in a positive light.

Cuomo had a different approach to the coronavirus than Trump and of course everything Trump did was attacked by the media and any one who opposed him was praised.

Most people have a life to live and don’t spend a lot of time paying attention to the news as it is depressing. Consequently they believe the liberal news media. Therefore in the beginning they felt Cuomo was doing a great job and of course Trump was screwing everything up.

In what ways did the MSM portray Cuomo in a positive light?

Do you watch CNN and Cuomo’s brother? That is one example.

Did Cuomo get an Emmy for his updates on the virus? How was that portrayed?

Andrew Cuomo To Receive International Emmy For 'Masterful' COVID-19 Briefings
November 21, 20209:24 AM ET

The Emmys have always had a soft spot for politicians. In the past two decades, the annual television awards have dealt out nods or outright wins for a slew of famous names: There's Selina Meyer, for one, not to mention Josiah Bartlet and Claire and Frank Underwood, among others.

The thing is, most of those politicians are, you know, fake.

The International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences announced Friday that it is breaking with tradition and awarding its International Emmy Founders Award to a real politician who is currently in office. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is being honored his daily coronavirus briefings earlier this year.

"The Governor's 111 daily briefings worked so well because he effectively created television shows, with characters, plot lines, and stories of success and failure," the academy's president and CEO, Bruce Paisner, explained in a statement announcing the decision. "People around the world tuned in to find out what was going on, and New York tough became a symbol of the determination to fight back."

***snip***

The governor earned plaudits for his early, aggressive approach to the coronavirus pandemic, which included a highly visible role as New York's briefer-in-chief. For several months earlier this year, Cuomo stepped in front of the news media each day with new statistics, a new PowerPoint slideshow and the same acerbic delivery. The regular briefings helped buoy his approval ratings in New York and make him perhaps the country's most recognizable Democratic leader in the struggle against COVID-19.

Andrew Cuomo To Receive International Emmy For 'Masterful' COVID-19 Briefings

The International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences announced that New York's governor will be recognized Monday for his "use of television to inform and calm people around the world."

I've never eaten mayo that way. Actually not a big fan a mayo. can you get on subject now? That post was a big waste of space.

I'd suggest you look in the mirror, but it would likely shatter.

Theres a topic being discussed here. Stick to it please. Enough with the random shit talk. I don't want to report you but I will. Stop trolling

Yes. Because now that the Ds are back in power Slade is pretending to be a rational poster.

Just stay on topic. Nobody cares what you think my intensions are. Try and be a grown up and have a real conversation.

How about you try to be a grown up and stop insisting everyone agree with you?

I don't engage on this message board to insist that people agree with me. I look for smart opposition to debate.

And I'm sure it's just coincidence that the "smart" opposition is that which agrees with you.

Slade never changes...makes believe he's being intellectually honest and then attempts to weave and bob his way around every fact thrown in his face.

Oh, if only we could get to discussing facts! That would be wonderful. Most my time on this board is wasted laughing at petty insults and low IQ posters dodging questions to go on partisan rants. But thats ok, I'm here for entertainment mostly and the occasional smart debate when the diamond in the rough poster comes along.

It's too late for you as you did not watch the news from day one and tons of shit that Cuomo caused never made it to the news and never will.
You think I would know about nursing home staff and MDs dying from COVID if I didn't live in my community?

Forgive me for not believing a stranger on a political message board.

So Herr Cuomo blames Covid in the nursing homes coming in via nurses, repairman, etc., not the patients today!
Cuomo is a bigger assclown than the OP!!!

You don't think staff members brought it in?

Prove it! (Drop the Mic.....).

I didn't make a proclamation smart guy, I asked you a question. I'll ask again since you obviously didn't catch that... Do you think staff members likely brought COVID into nursing homes?

Nope. They caught it from patients in nursing homes, assclown.
You're dumber than dirt!

That could be true. How do you know this though?

GTFO!!

Thats how you know? GTFO? Damn, you are pretty piss poor at formulating arguments aren't ya. Wanna try again?

GTFO X 2!

When you have 95% of the media, entertainers and all the Prog politicians on the Cuomo bandwagon, he can be Atilla the Hun and look angelic and great.

OK, fair answer. In what way do you think the media made Cuomo look angelic and great? Which of his attributes did they focus on and in what way? Or do you think reporters just told people that Cuomo was great and they just believed it?

reporters just told people that Cuomo was great and they just believed it

BINGO!
For God's sake, the press was calling for Cuomo to run for President!

When the left talks about the Right just blindly believing everything Trump or Fox News says do you think that is a credible claim or do you think they sound like unhinged wing nuts?

We're not discussing Trump, we're discussing Cuomo and what he did and what the MSM said he did and how the MSM reacted to every breath Cuomo took.

Im just curious how you react when the left accuses the right of exactly what you're accusing the Left of. Pretty mind blowing to look at things from the other side, I know, I know, tough stuff. Let it process for a minute and then let me know what you think.

I hate both sides of the aisle; they spend 90% of the time sucking up to the companies that are going to buy them media time when they have to run for office again.
Fox was a joke when GW was in office.

I want to see which people out there can give an honest take on a situation and who is playing politics. So far we are 5-0

Yeah, it's easy to win when you stack the deck.

Have you stopped beating your wife? The only answers allowed are "yes" or "no".

Answer truthfully.

How did I stack the deck?

You stated in the OP which answers you'd accept. Your subsequent posts about people who gave answers you didn't like confirm it.

The answers I said I'd accept are ones that address the question. You can say whatever you want as long as it addresses the question. The diversion that doesn't answer the question was the obvious attack point so I wasn't laying it out in the OP to hopefully avoid the Low IQ replies and try and foster an on topic discussion. I know, its a lot to ask for with this bunch of Yahoos... but we got a few good ones going

You're still doing it.

This is nothing but a troll thread. Have fun with it.

I'm sorry to confuse you. Thanks for trying

You didn't. You're not capable.

Oh, and have you stopped beating your wife?

I've never beat my wife. Nor did I give a 'yes/no' ultimatum in my OP. Your comparison is a half step beyond retarded.

As I said earlier, you made quite plain what answers you would accept. And as I said earlier, you're STILL doing it, to the point of reporting people for saying things that hurt your feelings.

My feelings don't get hurt on an online forum. Haha, funny attempt at a dig though, ouch, got me there! You're dead wrong about what answers I'd accept. I'd accept anything that was on subject. I said I would call out attempts to dodge the topic. Thats what I've been calling out and thats what you've been doing. Now the question is why? Are you not smart enough to just give honest and direct answers to the topic at hand?

You've been trying to make Cuomo look like the next winner of the Nobel Prize in Medical Science when he caused thousands of deaths.

Yet again you are way off. I think Cuomo is in a bunch of trouble right now. But my OP wasn't about the nursing home situation it was about his rise to international stardom and the factors that got him there. You know the stuff you apparently don't want to talk about...

I'm telling you now that any press time on Cuomo will either blow over within a week or two or the press will conjure up something really big and bad to distract us.
The factors that got Cuomo to Super Star status was Trump's existence.

I agree with you there too. He showed a contrast to Trump and communicated in a way that people desired. Straight talk and facts over hyperbolized spin and partisan fights. I'm not speaking to the validity of what he was saying I'm just talking about the factors that made him a star.

I appreciate the thoughtful response but I have to disagree with a few of your points. Cuomo was actually complimentary to Trump in the early stages. Publicly complimented Trump and his admin for the support they gave. The Numbers in NY were the worst in the nation, I don't think he won people over by opposing Trump or by his numbers. The media coverage is a valid point however the majority of his coverage where is daily pressers and then new interviews. So there must have been something in what he was saying or how he was saying it that people responded to. right?

Her quote sounds to me like they delayed giving the intel to both the DOJ and State Legislature because they thought Trump was planning a political attack and they wanted to make sure their ducks were in order.

Did Cuomo get an Emmy for his updates on the virus? How was that portrayed?

Andrew Cuomo To Receive International Emmy For 'Masterful' COVID-19 Briefings

The Emmys have always had a soft spot for politicians. In the past two decades, the annual television awards have dealt out nods or outright wins for a slew of famous names: There's Selina Meyer, for one, not to mention Josiah Bartlet and Claire and Frank Underwood, among others.

The thing is, most of those politicians are, you know, fake.

The International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences announced Friday that it is breaking with tradition and awarding its International Emmy Founders Award to a real politician who is currently in office. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is being honored his daily coronavirus briefings earlier this year.

"The Governor's 111 daily briefings worked so well because he effectively created television shows, with characters, plot lines, and stories of success and failure," the academy's president and CEO, Bruce Paisner, explained in a statement announcing the decision. "People around the world tuned in to find out what was going on, and New York tough became a symbol of the determination to fight back."

The governor earned plaudits for his early, aggressive approach to the coronavirus pandemic, which included a highly visible role as New York's briefer-in-chief. For several months earlier this year, Cuomo stepped in front of the news media each day with new statistics, a new PowerPoint slideshow and the same acerbic delivery. The regular briefings helped buoy his approval ratings in New York and make him perhaps the country's most recognizable Democratic leader in the struggle against COVID-19.

The International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences announced that New York's governor will be recognized Monday for his "use of television to inform and calm people around the world."

Yes I saw the Cuomo brother goofing off on Chris' show. So what? I don't think that was a large factor in his popularity. Hannity and Trump would pussyfoot on the reg on Fox and I don't think it mattered much in the grand scheme.

This is a question for right wingers, I want to see who if any out there have an objective understanding of the "how" and "why's" of what happened. It's a very simple question. Why did the public gravitate in such a positive way to Gov Cuomo during the early stages of the pandemic?

An intelligent reply will address the question and answer it honestly. The answer is pretty simple IMO.

A low IQ reply will attack Cuomo for the nursing home situation and try to redirect the topic of the thread.

Lets see who is who.

Left wingers, please give the RWers the opportunity to answer the OP and then feel free to respond in kind.

It’s hilarious watching you Cuommunists defend him.

What did I say that you think is a defense?!
