It’s not a comparison the Cuomo family wants but it’s one they deserve. The other factor is of course the media, who transformed Andrew Cuomo into a folk hero and the perfect tough-guy foil for President Trump. Not much more was needed. It is not accidental that now the giant orange dragon has been vanquished after sucking up all the media oxygen, suddenly more lethal nursing-home data from New York and more sexual assault accusers emerged. Almost immediately after the New York Times dropped another bombshell on Andrew Cuomo’s skull, the entirety of the national media turned their attention to a questionable raid by federal officers on Rudy Giuliani’s offices. So Cuomo keeps miraculously surviving what should be fatal news cycles. He’s going to come out of this and most likely be reelected, because to both New Yorkers and a media with the biased attention span of a toddler, he is simply preferable to whomever the alternative might be. It’s an astonishing hypocrisy from all sides — a national media still obsessing over the last presidency while ignoring the body count of the New York governor.
