CNN says it has reinstated a ban on Chris Cuomo covering news stories involving brother Gov. Andrew Cuomo

New York Post

Chris Cuomo has been under fire recently for ignoring his New York governor brother's COVID nursing home controversy after interviewing him many times last year amid the pandemic on Cuomo Prime Time. In a prepared statement, a CNN spokesperson said: “The early months of the pandemic crisis were an extraordinary time. We felt that Chris speaking with his brother about the challenges of what millions of American families were struggling with was of significant human interest. As a result, we made an exception to a rule that we have had in place since 2013 which prevents Chris from interviewing and covering his brother, and that rule remains in place today. CNN has covered the news surrounding Governor Cuomo extensively."
