ABC’s ‘World News Night’ devoted about four times more coverage Thursday to the Cancun controversy surrounding Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) than the growing legal problems faced by Democrat New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.
It isn’t just ABC. Fox News pointed out that on the six most popular shows on CNN and MSNBC, Gov. Andrew Cuomo, killer of the elderly who lies about it, got a total of three minutes of air time on those six most popular shows.

Cruz got 46 minutes.
It’s insanely irresponsible journalism.
Governor Cuomo’s outrageous policy forcing elderly COV patients into nursing homes when he had hospital space led to the deaths of at least 1,000 people, and probably thousands. Â His policy seeded the nursing homes. He compounded it by covering it up and blaming everyone except himself.
Ted Cruz made a mistake also, but it’s not an egregious error, yet ABC decided to make it the news of the night because they want to turn Texas blue. They also want to distract from Cuomo’s problems. Politico went after Cruz, Abbott, and former Governor Perry to make Republicans look as bad as possible for minor mistakes.
Cruz should have been more aware of the optics.
Texans are still struggling following deadly winter storms that have devastated the state’s power grid, and Cruz received some terrible publicity late Wednesday after pictures emerged on social media showing him and his family flying to Mexico for vacation. Cruz flew back to Houston the next day amid the backlash.
Cruz took responsibility and apologized:

On the other hand, Andrew Cuomo is facing probes by the FBI and the US attorney’s office in Brooklyn. People on both sides of the aisle are calling for him to resign. A Democrat lawmaker, Ron Kim came forward to describe the vicious phone calls he received from Cuomo and his staff threatening to destroy him if he didn’t lie as part of the coverup.
Cuomo claims his mistake was not coming out sooner to aggressively address the lies and conspiracy theories. However, his top aide, Melissa DeRosa just said the administration hid the real data of nursing home deaths to avoid Trump’s DoJ.
FAR more people died in Texas DIRECTLY due to an EO biden signed on his first day and his EPA refusing to suspend regulations so Texas could produce enough electricity to overcome the loss of wind generated electricity. biden is the new mass murderer since cuomo is laying low on that subject with 1,000s already dead DIRECTLY because of cuomo. Thank goodness they both care so very deeply.
You could be on to something here. They want him out, but why? They don’t usually go after one of their own. Especially Emmy award winning, King Cuomo. They need to go after the other Democrat governors who were just as negligent.
Cuomo’s an awful person, he should be removed, but what he did is not criminal. No one challenged him at the time, they followed his destructive order. The media let him do it too. Cuomo did not do that by himself.
The DOJ is not a credible org to investigate anything.
Somehow, the establishment wants him out, so they are doing this squeeze play. These are equally bad people that want him out. Cuomo is not being forced out based on principle.
So what if Senator Cruz traveled to Mexico, he has the right to do so. Furthermore, nothing he ever did caused the power outage in Texas, green policy did, there is nothing he can do to restore power, and he didn’t tell Texans nor anybody else they couldn’t leave their home like Democrats have done so to Senator Cruz’s critics, POUND SAND!
