'Cuomo, a spotlight-craving politician with an ability to hold viewer attention as he spoke discursively, was the establishment left’s answer to the figure they most hated: Donald Trump,' writes DPD_
for his work on television is a bizarre and hilarious punchline on a troubling period of time. Many viewers were so troubled by a genuinely bleak set of facts that Cuomo’s daily broadcast was a bright spot. And many transitioned from using it as an information digest to a sort of entertainment product, led by someone who was a public servant in name but who demanded from his public endless attention and appreciation.
That a political class so attuned to ethical lapses and misuses of the bully pulpit by Trump so avidly consumed more of the same, but from the left — a state-media broadcast intended to burnish a personality cult — is troubling, and says little that is good about media literacy in the long term. At least, now, the spell seems to have faded for Cuomo, thanks to real reporters and thanks, perhaps, to his own flying too close to the sun.
Today, Cuomo’s final broadcast as governor was filled with strange recriminations and ended with his recollections of what the state, under his leadership, achieved during the COVID era. In rattling off his memory of the events of the past year, Cuomo sounded strangely nostalgic for the worst time in many viewers’ lives. For him, this was playing the hits.
That Cuomo’s successor, Kathy Hochul, is a little-known figure seemingly chosen as Lieutenant Governor so as to run no risk of overshadowing the man who’d been at the top of the ticket, has one fringe benefit: She seems unlikely to grow as entranced by television’s glow, its power to define and override facts. She also doesn’t have a brother working for CNN.
