Have you noticed the Dem-media-academia bloc seem to lionise some of the shiftiest people when they should really know better - Avenatti - Cuomo - Lincoln Pr

  I remember reading quite a bit about Cuomo's mistakes last summer in liberal media, but apparently it didn't change the dominant narrative. Here's one article: Democrats gave a hero’s welcome to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo despite his mistake-filled early response to the coronavirus pandemic. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/08/cuomo-new-york-coronavirus/615352/ https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/08/cuomo-n...

    Cuomo for all his faults took ownership of the crisis situation. That’s what leaders are supposed to do, and that is what the public craves. Unfortunately, POTUS just wasn’t capable of filling that function for a variety of reasons. I think most of those mistakes were understood as the state government was caught unaware and so little was known. We’ve seen similar tragedy in different states and countries — managing a pandemic is difficult.

      I can't find it now, but I specifically remember reading an article early in the pandemic making the argument that the political leaders should step back and let public health officials take the spotlight, and pointing to Cuomo as someone who's doing a bad job of this.

      'Hitler for all his faults took ownership of the crisis situation. That's what leaders are supposed to do, and that is what the public craves. Unfortunately, Hindenburg just wasn't capable of filling that function for a variety of reasons.' Means do not justify ends.

  What did all these people have in common? I can't imagine.
