Chris Cuomo
Chris Cuomo is burning down CNN. And he's taking Don Lemon with him.
The timing of Chris Cuomo's high dive into the mud bog is sad. After all, there is a war on. I mean a real war, not the one inside CNN's C-suite.

Chris Cuomo is burning down the house. Perhaps we should stand back simply to admire the flames.
On Wednesday, Cuomo asked for an arbitrator to award him $125 million because CNN fired him for what even a first-year journalism student would have understood to be egregious ethical violations.
Cuomo's Trumpian-style lack of ethics is old news. But his rationale for demanding enough money to make a tech exec envious is truly novel: I wasn't the only dishonest journalist on CNN's payroll.
Cuomo drags Lemon into the mud
Exhibit No. 1 for the plaintiff is Don Lemon, the CNN host whom Cuomo used to refer to as his "brother." (Which is rich given how quick Cuomo was to nuke journalistic ethics to bail out his brother Andrew, the former New York governor.)
