Many of you may have read my commentary posted here December 3rd on CNN & Chris Cuomo.  What a difference a few days can make.

Chris Cuomo was summarily fired Saturday after a report was released by the New York State Attorney General.  What CNN disclosed for the first time Saturday was the hiring a an outside law firm to investigate the matter.

Saturday, that outside report, plus an allegation of sexual harassment some years ago, led CNN to let their night-time opinion anchor go.

Tom Jones, writer for the Poynter Institute, a respected organization on the media, posted a recent comment that both Andrew  and Chris Cuomo lost their jobs due to one common issue.

“Arrogance, the entitled belief that the rules don’t necessarily apply to them, the misguided assumption that just because they do good in some parts of their jobs means they can be excused for ill-behavior in other parts,” wrote Mr. Jones.

I agree with the analysis of Tom Jones, but that does not change my view of how CNN handled Chris Cuomo in the past.  I sincerely hope CNN will do an internal post-mortem and dig deep into why the company itself is partially to blame for all this.
