Unprecedented Abuse Of Power: What The Media Still Isn't Telling You About The Cuomo Debacle

If irony were a psychoactive compound, the amount produced by Andrew Cuomo’s departure from office last August would’ve been enough to cause a rash of fatal overdoses. In the span of just a few months, Cuomo went from being one of the country’s most formidable and even fearsome elected officials, to having the prefix “disgraced” obligatorily attached to his “former governor” job title. This after being exposed, purportedly, as a serial sexual predator. Sure — there have been dramatic falls from grace before. But this one was on some other level.

Cuomo of course already commanded a large national profile before 2020, but thanks to a wave of corporate media adulation during the height of COVID, he was transformed into a newfound “national hero” and noble foil to Donald Trump — with murmurs that he’d even launch a late bid for president. “Andrew Cuomo may be the single most popular politician in America right now,” one representative CNN headline blared.

 

Then, in a brutal Shakespearean twist of fate, a slew of curiously choreographed “accusations” emerged — and in the blink of an eye, many of those same media operators turned on him like it was nothing. The state Attorney General, Letitia James, mobilized into action, and received authorization from Cuomo to launch an investigation with the stipulation that she would appoint independent attorneys to run it, in light of her enormous conflict of interest: she planned to run for Governor herself. A media establishment which had just got done exalting Cuomo as the modern-day Winston Churchill of New York decided to abstain from conducting basic journalistic scrutiny of these circumstances, and instead became witless PR agents for both the supposed “victims” and James, who touted herself as the victims’ fearless champion. Which would certainly be a useful selling point for her upcoming campaign. Almost immediately after James published the findings, Cuomo’s political support evaporated, impeachment proceedings were initiated, a chorus of condemnations erupted, and he was kicked unceremoniously out the door.

 

Someone please correct me if I’m wrong, but to my knowledge I was the only person with any tangential connection to The Media who even attempted any kind of skeptical inquiry into these machinations against Cuomo. Not because I had any pre-existing affinity for him — quite the opposite, in fact — but because it was obvious from the get-go that the anti-Cuomo putsch was full of holes, predicated on the worst kind of emotional blackmail tactics, and spearheaded by people with manifestly dubious motives. I intentionally use “putsch” to describe the machinations, only half jokingly, because it’s a term that appropriately captures the sordid essence of this concerted plot to achieve a desired political outcome — Cuomo’s ouster — which could not have been achieved by ordinary electoral means.

 

The basic reality is that Cuomo almost certainly would never have been defeated in a New York Democratic gubernatorial primary, and his “progressive” antagonists within the Party (such as James) would’ve been stuck with him for as long as he cared to stay in office. Past attempts by “progressive” insurgents to dislodge him in 2014 and 2018 failed miserably, despite much hype by Cuomo-hostile online media organs in NYC. This very week, in fact — months after Cuomo’s supposed banishment into permanent disgrace — a poll showed him substantially leading in gubernatorial preference among voters in the Bronx, were he to run again. Which, incredibly enough, is a distinct possibility. New York does not have gubernatorial term limits, and if the putsch hadn’t been executed this year, he likely could have remained in power for several more terms without much hindrance, particularly given the fecklessness of the state GOP. So the increasingly assertive “progressive” wing of the New York Democratic Party — long festering with resentment against Cuomo, who by early 2021 had been in power for over a decade — needed some other vehicle by which to remove him. And they settled on the most reliable tool they have in their arsenal to settle internal Democratic Party disputes: a manufactured #MeToo-style PR offensive.
