News Nation’s Chris Cuomo appeared on the Jan. 16 podcast of No Bulls–t Newshour, where he discussed the end of his tenure at CNN.
Cuomo went into details on how it ended with the network and noted that who was at CNN isn’t someone that can be replicated, considering he was at one of the recognizable news brands.
“I’ll never be what I was,” told Charlie LeDuff and Karen Dumas (h/t New York Post). “I was number one on the most powerful media platform in the world.”
He also admitted that he never got an opportunity to say goodbye to his team working on his primetime show on CNN.
“[I was not] allowed to say goodbye to [my show’s team], an office I was never allowed to clear out,” Cuomo said. Furthermore, the former CNN host noted that his office supplies were sent to him “in boxes with half my s–t broken.”
Finally, Cuomo took a shot at former CNN boss Jeff Zucker.
“He did not have lie about what he knew and what I did and what I didn’t do. I never did anything to have to lie about,” Cuomo claimed. “I never did anything to manipulate media coverage of my brother.”
