      Oh like you never broken serious ethical codes to help out a sibling keep a high powered position when they've been under multiple accusations of sexual harassment and also through their incompetence seem to have caused thousands of unnecessary deaths.

      I think we have to make a distinction between being willing to help a family member out and working to keep a family member keep a job they shouldn't have. The two are not the same and indeed are at odds. Sometimes you help your family by easing the path of resignation.

      There can be ethical tensions between family and society, although I think this case isn't quite it for reasons I suggested. For a better scenario, there's Springsteen.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EVCO7ZKVDs …

          My most normie opinion is that Springsteen is pretty great: Well, if it was any other man, I'd put him straight away But when it's your brother, sometimes, you look the other way

          There is the "family name" thing though. Surely all those big political families go through great lengths to protect that, if at all possible. The younger one should have stepped off. Journalists should step away from conflicts. If they can't, change jobs to using law degree

          "Mateo Falcone" (Prosper Mérimée, 1892) Not the same as the Cuomo or the Springsteen, but in the matters between family and honor, and what honor means in a community. It's short, barely 7 pages: https://nmi.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/1574.pdf …
