    The extent to which all kinds of negative stories about politicians who have long been lionized suddenly appear in the press the moment they fall from grace should be deeply concerning to anyone who values the truth about other politicians who are currently being lionized.

        A part of this may be journalists not being as keen to pursue negative stories about popular figures. There are likely other factors too, such as more sources being willing to dish on politicians when they are down. But whatever the causes, this dynamic is very unhealthy.

        The best solution is to stop lionizing politicians, who are deeply flawed human beings just like everyone else, in the first place.

        Obviously this is meant in regard to Cuomo, but who are some other names you have in mind ? I agree with the sentiment

        Both lionization and demonization involve preference and knowledge falsification. Exaggerations don’t get corrected because observers fear the consequences of being out of step.

        The need to lionize or demonize public figures as opposed to seeing them as complex people with shades of grey says more about a collective need to order the world through moral figurines than about these actual figures.

        More of a national news issue. People following state reporters are at least somewhat informed. Still, getting the bigger stories can't happen until people aren't afraid to talk.

        Perhaps not lionizing a guy known for decades to be a corrupt bully would have been the right place to start. But that would require “journalists” to not be partisan hacks.
