YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMany leading news hosts on major networks are closely related to politicians and government officials, whether it be through marriage, a parent, or a sibling. Dave and the panel discuss the consequences of these close connections and the extent to which these connections exist.
A recent example of this is when New York Governor Andrew Cuomo went on CNN to discuss the latest developments in the Metro-North train derailment, and was interviewed by his little brother, Chris Cuomo.
Chris Cuomo argued that the interview did not present a conflict of interest because his brother, Governor Cuomo, was a mere information-delivery device, not a participant in the story itself.
Watch a clip of Chris Cuomo defending himself in the video.
Do you think there are too many news hosts with close ties to politicians and government officials?
