Chris F. Cuomo announces his comeback, sans Q-Tip

Chris Fredo Cuomo is making a comeback to the boob tube announcing on Tuesday that he would be getting an anchor role on NewsNation, formerly known as WGN America.

Fredo, as he likes to be called, made the announcement on NewsNation's host Dan Abrams, a former ABC News colleague of Cuomo's. The program will start in the fall and run in his old Comedy News Network time slot, the New York Post reports.

“I’m going to come to NewsNation and I want to build something special here,” he said, noting that his new employer would be … somewhat less prestigious than his old one as it will not be pumped into airports to insult the intelligence of people with functional cortexes. 

“I had decided that I can’t go back to what people see as ‘the big game,'” Fredo said. “I don’t think I can make a difference there. I think we need insurgent media. I think we need outlets that aren’t fringe and just trying to fill their pockets.”

Cuomo will make a difference. He will do what he did at CNN, where his interactions with his disgraced brother, former New York Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo, and Don Lemon, a fake news festival of fun and chuckles.

Fredo got booted from CNN in December after a scandal broke about how he flushed any journalistic integrity he may have had remaining down the toilet. He did all he could to prop up his brother during the COVID pandemic in which the former governor sent thousands of elderly COVID positive patients to nursing homes where they infected the frail residents and led tot he death of thousands in the state. 

And who can forget the giant Q-Tip prop Fredo used to poke brotherly fun at Andrew? They laughed it up while people were dying in droves? CNN allowed that garbage to go on for much too long, and it eventually took a boatload of scandals to bring them both down.

Dan Abrams, to his journalistic credit, confronted Fredo about the CNN termination--his claim that he “never made calls to the press” regarding a number of sexual harassment claims against Andrew. It was later proved that he did and lied about it  and Abrams said that Cuomo did contact the media about his brother’s situation.

“You said, ‘I never made calls to the press about my brother’s situation,'” Abrams revealed. “[But] you did make calls to the press about your brother’s situation.”

“But I think the distinction has a meaningful difference,” Fredo bull-shot back. “The concern would be not that I called you and said ‘What do you think’s going on here?’ It’s me calling you and saying ‘Hey tonight in your segment, I hope you remember that,'” he said.

CNN initially only suspended Cuomo over some texts he had regarding his brother's sexual harassment scandals, but they eventually fired him after he was accused of sexual misconduct by a "reliable source."

Cuomo is currently suing CNN for $125 million over breach of contract but if there is any justice in the world, he would lose.

But now he's no longer CNN's problem and frequent fliers will not have to tolerate his antics. It's a wonder NewsNation hired this charlatan in the first place.
