Jeff, I paid almost no attention to Cuomo's comments... I am, however, declining to let my hair be set on fire over this... As you should. No offense, but a Millring you ain't. Every wispy lock matters.

There was 3 or 4 seconds of video of an orderly hospital ward in Italy not looking as overwhelmed as Elmhurst Hospital staff report that they feel in New York. CBS has reportedly explained that they made an editing error to the Washington Examiner and the Daily Caller and possibly others and said they took steps to remove the clip. I haven't done an exhaustive search but I can't find the clip in question on the CBS This Morning YouTube channel.
Edited - added the word "reportedly".

I think that's a different edit?
Edit - 1:22 yup. I also lack a sufficiency of flammable follicles. 🙂

Since this thread hs taken a typically-soundhole offramp, here’s one of my all-time favorites: Brutal. Folks in Kentucky got a real kick out of that one, at ABC’s expense.

They're shooting themselves in the foot if their aim is to discredit Trump. All they do is discredit themselves and lend credence to Trump's "Fake News" claims.

On the Syria footage from a recreational shoot, I guess there was a twitter retraction: Social media posters recognized the video wasn’t from Syria and other news outlets reported the shocking incident. ABC issued Twitter corrections, because that’s what outlets do when they are too embarrassed to tell viewers. The correction stated the network removed the video “after questions were raised about its accuracy.” Naturally, “ABC News regrets the error.”
More like ABC appears to regret the error.
This was briefly a big controversy. CNN’s Brian Stelter called it “a big black eye for ABC News.” Even The New York Times noted that “ABC News did not specify how the error had occurred.”
Journalism’s Poynter Institute added: “Into that vacuum of non-information rushed a familiar barrage of cynical accusations.” Then it proceeded to rationalize how showing the wrong video was simply an accident, because there was no proof it wasn’t.
Poynter insisted that “knowingly misrepresenting anything is not in the interest of a standards-based news organization.” Of course, the standards-based news organization also tanked the stock market in its desperate attempt to get Trump.
The president called the ABC blunder “a big scandal” and a “disgrace.” He’s right. And, perhaps, those who simply say that “accidents happen” might be right as well. ABC hasn’t elaborated and has already proved itself untrustworthy.
You notice how the news media don’t make big errors that help Trump? Instead, they assume the worst and ignore one of journalism’s cardinal rules – when a story seems too good to be true, it usually is.
ABC leaves viewers with only two disturbing choices. It is either trying to destabilize the Mideast and cause a war with NATO ally Turkey or it employs idiots who are easily duped and bosses who don’t even bother to verify the video they run.
Both choices say a lot about journalism in 2019.www.foxnews.com/opinion/dan-gainor-fake-news-abc-falsely-portrays-kentucky-shooting-range-as-syria-battle-scene

It surprises me that you think the editor or somebody should maybe lose their job. In the history of news errors this seems really quite trivial and inconsequential for someone to lose their livelihood over. My view is that it is wristslap worthy, maybe. Edit - perhaps you mean if the editor makes lots of such errors? Edit - I don't know how a 3 second clip of a hospital seeming to calmly go about its business can be aimed at discrediting Trump.

Cuomo heard the same January reports of a new flu in China everyone else did. Why didn't he issue an executive order to purchase 30,000 ventilators for the state of New York to distribute to their hospitals? He could have. Easy Peasy, right?
Yes, he is a terrible situation and yes this is the first clip I've seen and heard him in, but in this clip, combined with some quick reading on CNN, I detected more evidence of politicized grandstanding and passing the blame game than calm leadership.
Everything I've read about Cuomo to date has been generally positive, but his live for the cameras pissing match with Trump is not serving any good or useful interest.

The DNC is considering dumping Joe and running Cuomo. Cuomo is God to Dems now.

Our governor issued a watered down stay-at-home order today. You can still go out for exercise, recreation or to travel to an essential business. Essential businesses apparently include golf courses and beauty salons, among many others. There are so many exceptions that it's hard to think of much that will change. For my household, nothing will.

FARGO — North Dakota hospitals could see a peak in demand for services from the coronavirus pandemic around May 1 under a projection that predicts the state will have enough available beds to handle the crest but still will experience 171 deaths.
The projection, by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington, predicts that North Dakota will need a total of 507 beds during the peak of COVID-19 patients, and will have 1,545 beds available.
Also, the forecast predicts 76 intensive care unit beds will be required during the May 1 peak, with 86 ICU beds available, during the peak, and 61 ventilators will be required for the respiratory illness, which causes respiratory distress in severe cases.
The forecast does not specify the number of people who could become infected by the virus.
Although North Dakota is one of only nine states predicted to have enough beds during peaks forecast to arrive in late April and May around the country, the coronavirus pandemic still will be deadly, with an estimated 171 deaths by Aug. 4, the institute predicted.

Gov. Doug Burgum, in his briefing on Monday, March 30, said the state has looked at the forecasting model and officials regard it as one of the most helpful, calling it "directionally correct," but added that it has limitations.
As of Monday, North Dakota health officials have reported three deaths among 109 who have tested positive for coronavirus, including two additional deaths and 11 new cases, including three new cases in Cass County.
A top federal health official, who spoke Monday with North Dakota officials, said the IHME model is one she had “more confidence in” than others, Burgum said, but added that it appears to understate the number of ICU beds and ventilators available in the state.
“We’re not testing the model to say, 'Oh, we’ve got enough,'" the governor said. “We would want a larger margin of error than depending on somebody else’s model.”
North Dakota officials continue to develop the state’s own coronavirus forecasting model, using its own estimate of hospital bed and ventilator availability numbers, Burgum said. Also, a team of state officials are working to ensure that the state has enough hospital beds, ventilators and staffing to handle a surge from the coronavirus.
“We’re going to make sure we’re ready when that peak comes,” he said. Among other steps, plans are being made to convert dormitory space at North Dakota State University and Bismarck State College for use as emergency hospitals.
