[See NewsBusters for more.] CBS This Morning on Monday highlighted the “devastating toll” the coronavirus is having on nursing homes in this country, noting that 28,000 deaths are connected to nursing homes. What wasn’t mentioned at all in the four minute-plus segment? New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s disastrous decision to send COVID patients to nursing homes. Somehow, that never came up at all. Yet, while CBS ignored New York and Cuomo on Monday, the network hailed Cuomo back in April. On the April 19 Face the Nation, John Dickerson showcased the Democrat as an example of a real “leader”: "In an age of finger-pointing, blame-shifting and spin, it can be bracing to simply hear a leader take responsibility."
