Tell Chris Cuomo to Resign from CNN
Chris Cuomo has clearly violated his commitment to transparency and honesty as a CNN anchor. He is blatantly biased and unsuited to continue working in a primetime media slot providing political commentary when he has a clear conflict of interest. His conduct has been detailed by New York Attorney General Letitia James in her report that unveiled Governor Andrew Cuomo's accusations of sexual harassment and the Cuomos's response to those accusations. As detailed by MSNBC:
"The report also noted that CNN anchor Chris Cuomo, the governor’s brother, was part of a small team of advisers who helped him respond to the allegations. The journalist Cuomo seems to have gone so far as to draft a statement for his powerful brother in February of this year."
His bias is clear in his CNN interviews as well:
"Chris Cuomo has interviewed his brother on CNN multiple times about the elder Cuomo’s coronavirus response, as scores of New Yorkers were dying in a pandemic; Albany is part of his beat. In one interview, Chris Cuomo told Andrew Cuomo he is “the best politician in the country.” The anchor’s attempt at a journalistic compromise was to abstain from interviewing his brother about the sexual harassment scandal. But both men’s careers have benefited greatly from their cheeky, high-profile, softball interviews during a very dark time in the nation’s history. And viewers were largely unaware of the role Chris Cuomo was playing to help his brother behind the scenes."
If you support the resignation of Chris Cuomo from CNN, don't just sign my petition. Contact Chris at [email protected] and tell him yourself that he needs to restore CNN's unbiased media integrity by leaving his job.

Why is this important?
Media integrity is needed in an age where conservative outlets will seek to undermine unbiased media coverage to enhance their own partisan and dangerous agenda. Two examples: coronavirus mask and vaccine mandates, and the claims of voter fraud in the right wing echo chamber.
