    It's maybe extreme to say this is the media consensus on Chris Cuomo but you are seeing a lot of people explicitly saying family loyalty trumps ethical obligations. Which is not good.https://twitter.com/LEBassett/status/1465881548239122434 …

        I don't know who needs to hear this but there are many, many ways to help your family and still maintain minimum ethical decency.

        I feel like many more journalists are saying that Clyde and Yglesias are wrong so if anything, the consensus in media is that family loyalty doesn’t trump ethical obligations.

        Okay, maybe I'm over-reacting. Still I was surprised to see people of some prominence articulate an openly mafia ethic.

        Yeah, this is not credible and the men weighing on on this need to re-think their journalstic ethics.

        100% consistent with general media tendency to empathize with individuals while failing to do so with vast numbers of people they don’t know. Let alone see systemic issues. There’s zero journalism training in cable news, folks (other than periodic sessions on fair use, etc.)

        It’s not good. Period. We all have fam, but this is way past the line. Just take a leave of absence and help your bro, OK. Don’t sit there and wisecrack and 2-face me.

        Since Trump’s 2016 candidacy I’ve been noting his and Andrew Cuomo’s personal similarities, but this all really brings out the similarities in their respective fan bases.

        these guys are in a profession that ostensibly requires a high standard of ethics and are publicly proclaiming how unethical they are not great!

        If morality goes out the window for family… Does that mean that family loyalty is inherently destructive and amoral?
