When Chris Cuomo a news anchor coordinated with his brother, the former Governor Chris was fired and Andrew had to resign.

When Rupert who likes to think of himself as a newsman gave the Trump campaign inside info on Biden is that not the same thing?

There have to be consequences for unscrupulous actions. Public outrage did it to the Cuomos. Where will the public outrage come from on the Republican side? Clearly not from Paul Ryan who apparently could only ring his hands and take the money he gets for being on the board.

I believe the Cuomos were forced out by their base - if you will - that consists mainly of decent democracy loving people who thought their actions had gone too far. Faux News has no such base. Which is clearly demonstrated by the fact that they were losing viewership to ever more radical “news” organizations who would parrot the already ingrained conspiracies and hatred the base had come to know and love. I think we can surmise at this point that there are no democracy loving people in FNC’s base, or in the GOP for that matter. There are no moderates left in that party. And I’m beginning to think there are none who even have a brain.

Andrew Cuomo was forced out for his totally inappropriate behavior and his attitude of the old line - anything a male politician does is acceptable. Chris Cuomo placed family above integrity, too bad, I thought he was a decent reporter. As to the MAGA maggots, some (maybe even most) fit your description - but I do think a lot of them felt 'left out' by those of us so concentrated on Urban issues, we forgot that they existed and have problems too. We could and should help resolve some of their problems, like water, distribution of the agricultural products they produce. They don't realize how Corporate America has raped the whole Country, not just those of us living in cities and somewhat better educated but the entire food production industry from farms, to food preparation and distribution. As a party, we liberal progressives need to be more inclusive, not just of race and gender but all decent Americans regardless of where they live or how they make their living (felons excepted)

The big difference, Georgia, was money. The Rupert's are richer than Croesus, the Cuomo's are merely wealthy.

Remember, Andrew resigned over a sex scandal, not for coordinating with his brother.

Yes, my first thought was that he had an obligation to resign!
