While some local papers have been scathing in their coverage of the ex-governor, the New York Times seems to be largely buying what Cuomo's selling.

In a piece critical of Democratic Party support for Cuomo, the Atlantic‘s David Graham (3/3/25) wrote, “If, in order to curb the far left, Democrats like [Rep. Ritchie] Torres are willing to embrace an alleged sex pest who tried to cover up seniors’ deaths, is it worth it?”

The same might be asked of some in the corporate media, with the New York Times at the top of the list.

    Yeah. Generally speaking I really like FAIR. They’ve been criticizing the mainstream media for being blindly pro-Israeli-terrorism since before the phrase “mainstream media” existed. I’m not super up to speed on NY politics but presumably supporting a sexual predator for any government office is to be avoided. I don’t support either the NYT or Cuomo.

    Just, anyone who is aiming any amount of pearl clutching about how the least fascist candidate in any given election is “problematic” and we need to look really closely at and get upset about their flaws repetitively, every few days, raises a few alarm bells with me.
