With regard to obscuring the death toll, I agree, and Cuomo needs to be dealt with.
With regard to prioritizing this story against it's competitor, however, I think my information diet got the mix about right, which is to say in proportion to impact.

If we were just talking about Cuomo, sure -- but you brought up information diets and suppression, which absolutely brings into scope the nonstop 24/7 Republican efforts to use the Cuomo story as whataboutism.

I can’t speak to your media diet in particular, but it’s not like CNN had their Cuomo criticism on page 2 and their Trump criticism on the front page—their Trump criticism and Cuomo praise were both on the metaphorical front page.
