The suspension came after significant criticism from people who noted that Chris Cuomo had violated widely accepted journalistic norms. Inside CNN, staffers expressed dismay about the anchor's conduct. Charlotte Bennett, a former aide to Andrew Cuomo who came forward in February to accuse him of sexual harassment, called for CNN to "immediately take action."

"Anything short of firing Chris Cuomo reflects a network lacking both morals and a backbone," Bennett said in a tweet Tuesday.

The "Cuomo Prime Time" team had been planning for Tuesday's broadcast up until the announcement of Chris Cuomo's suspension, a person familiar with the matter said. Cooper's team was also blindsided by the news and left scrambling to fill the extra hour.

After the news was made public, an emotional Chris Cuomo met with the show's staff.

The documents released by New York Attorney General Letitia James included text messages and transcripts of interviews with investigators who led the probe into allegations against the governor.

The cache of documents included text messages between Chris Cuomo and Melissa DeRosa, a then-top aide to Gov. Andrew Cuomo, that suggested he was instrumental in working to craft a defense against a flood of sexual misconduct allegations.

The text messages also revealed that Chris Cuomo sought to use his connections in the press to help prepare the then-governor's team as accusers started to make their stories public.
 
Cuomo has certainly been a problem for CNN pretending to be a journalism outfit.

CNN has many journalists. Chris Cuomo isn't one of them. At least Bill O'Reilly was honest enough to disclaim being a "journalist" but Chris embraced it even though he was a highly partisan commentator, not a journalist.

Chris had a choice; be a serious journalist or go for the sleaze money like O'Reilly, Hannity and Tucker. Chris chose the sleaze then fucked it up and is now out.

I expect he'll be terminated or, if not, shoved to the back of the room.
 
What purpose does CNN serve anyway?

There's MSNBC for people with brains and Fox News for people without them.
At what demographic is CNN aimed? I don't understand why it exists.

This is why you are a Democrat, thinking yourself above most others.

It has actual news occasionally, although in recent years it's gone more tabloid gossip rag than an actual news media outlet.
 
"Ex-Gov. Cuomo led others into corruption including his brother Chris: Goodwin:

"For those who needed convincing or a reminder, there is fresh proof that Andrew Cuomo wasn’t just corrupt. He was also a great corrupter of others.

The latest example involves his brother, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo. Documents released by the state attorney general show that, despite public denials, Chris played a secret role in trying to protect the former governor from sexual-harassment allegations.

The disclosure is putting Chris on the hot seat with his bosses, his audience and other journalists, some of whom are demanding he be fired for unethical conduct.

Notably, CNN did not defend the host of its most popular program. The network said Monday in a statement that the document trove “deserves a thorough review” and that executives would have “conversations” in coming days.

Late Tuesday, it suspended him indefinitely, saying it saying it did not know the full extent of his involvement in his brother’s defense.

And so Chris Cuomo joins a long list of accomplished people who heedlessly rushed to help the former governor, only to see their reputations seriously damaged as the truth emerged about the extent of Andrew Cuomo’s wrongdoing — and their complicity. Many of Andrew’s helpers crashed and burned, their careers in tatters."
