Despite totaling up more COVID deaths than any state in the union, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo will be honored with an Emmy award for his daily coronavirus briefings held earlier this year at the height of the outbreak.
Bruce Paisner, the CEO of the International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, said Cuomo’s 111 briefings were a hit because he somehow managed to create “television shows, with characters, plot lines, and stories of success and failure. People around the world tuned in to find out what was going on, and New York tough became a symbol of the determination to fight back.”
Cuomo won the Founders Award, which NPR said goes to the individual or group that “crosses cultural boundaries to touch our common humanity.”
TRENDPOST: Since March, New York State, with a population of 19.5 million and 34,577 COVID deaths, is #1 in the nation with the most people killed from the virus. Texas, with 10 million more people and 12,000 less deaths, ranks #2 in virus deaths.
Thus, Cuomo’s award depicts the shallowness and folly of American TV, which awards a person who puts on a good act by creating “television shows, with characters, plot lines, and stories of success and failure.”
Cheap Script in a Make-Believe World
Ignored by Hollywood are Cuomo’s murderous plot lines of taking sick, elderly people suffering from the virus out of hospitals and shipping them into nursing homes.
The New York State Department of Health reports that 6,326 COVID patients were admitted to nursing facilities shortly after Cuomo mandated that the homes readmit these patients.
Ignored by the Emmy drama queens is Cuomo’s refusal to provide data of how many elderly people from nursing homes actually died from the virus. His health officials counted those who were in nursing homes while sick with the virus and then sent to hospitals where they died as virus victims not from nursing homes. (See our 18 August article, “N.Y. NURSING HOME COVID DEATHS: CUOMO CAN’T COUNT.”)
In fact, considering the shallowness of the mainstream media and that their junk news channels have an unmatched track record of selling wars, hate, violence, lies and deception… Andrew Cuomo is the perfect TV star who emulates what they stand for.
