“Alright, here it is… the official re-entry from the basement, cleared by the CDC”

When CNN’s critics say it isn’t a news network, they are not exaggerating. Chris Cuomo has been broadcasting from his basement for weeks while quarantining after he came down with Coronavirus.

Yesterday, they made a huge show of Cuomo emerging from his basement after being cleared by health officials.

Yet just a little over a week ago, he was seen on Long Island by a man on a bicycle, breaking quarantine with family members.

Joseph A. Wulfsohn reports at FOX News:

CNN’s Chris Cuomo’s reemergence claim from coronavirus quarantine gets panned on social media CNN anchor Chris Cuomo is being accused of staging his own emergence from the basement in his Hamptons home where he had been recovering from the coronavirus after his widely-reported spat with a bicyclist last week. On Monday night’s installment of “Cuomo Prime Time,” Cuomo addressed his road to recovery, which included a video showing him emerging from the basement of his South Hampton home where he had been quarantined. “Alright, here it is… the official re-entry from the basement, cleared by the CDC,” Cuomo narrated as he walked upstairs to greet his family. “This is what I’ve been dreaming of, literally, for weeks.” The video then showed him greeting his wife, who had also been diagnosed with the virus. The anchor said she was also “cleared by the CDC” as well. “This is the dream, just to be back up here doing normal things,” Cuomo said to the camera.

Here’s the video:

This is literally fake news.

On April 14th, Kate Sheehy of the New York Post reported on an incident involving Cuomo and a man on a bicycle who was questioning why Cuomo was breaking quarantine:

‘I hate bullies’: Bicyclist verbally attacked by Chris Cuomo fires back The Long Island resident blasted as a “jackass loser fat-tire biker” by Chris Cuomo in a radio rant told The Post on Tuesday that the CNN host is nothing but a bully — and he has even filed a complaint with cops against him. “Sometimes he’s scary stupid,” the East Hampton man, who asked to only be identified by his first name, David, said of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s little brother. Chris Cuomo launched into a tirade on his SiriusXM show Monday night about how he didn’t like what he did for a living anymore — and ranted about a confrontation he had with a bike rider outside his property Easter Sunday, when the coronavirus-infected TV star was hanging out with his family. David, who had been riding by, started hassling Chris Cuomo about social distancing, and the CNN star later seethed on his radio show that one big downside to money and fame is that he couldn’t tell the guy to “go to hell.”

Cuomo then had the nerve to tweet this on April 21st:

Columnist Karol Markowicz, who was born in the Soviet Union, called out CNN for their obvious piece of theater masked as news:

Is this a joke? Yes, this is from Stelter’s newsletter. Chris Cuomo was in East Hampton 8 days ago. This is bananas. pic.twitter.com/91zbpG7fzz — Karol Markowicz (@karol) April 21, 2020

You guys are Pravda. This is so absurd I don’t know how he did it, and then Stelter passed it along, with a straight face. https://t.co/binB5Wj5DF — Karol Markowicz (@karol) April 21, 2020

Even Ben Smith, formerly of BuzzFeed, has called them out:

The extent to which CNN has adopted reality TV values here is pretty remarkable. Including eliding the controversy over Cuomo’s travel. https://t.co/AOS1spHYSR — Ben Smith (@benyt) April 21, 2020

Somebody ask the governor if CNN should have aired his ne’er-do-well brother’s emergence from a fake basement quarantine after he spent Easter at a friend’s house in a different town yelling at passers-by.https://t.co/A8pQrPVZdz https://t.co/lfhyX3TnuV — Phil Kerpen (@kerpen) April 21, 2020

Tucker Carlson did a segment on this last night that’s worth watching:

CNN truly is fake news.
