You sir, speak the truth. Thank you.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.
