I’d agree with you except for the fact that Cuomos popularity arose from his press briefings about COVID. It was some news anchors praising him and telling the public that they had to like the governor. Most people were locked in and thirsty to know what the hell was going on. There was a void of trustworthy information coming from the White House. Cuomo filled that void by laying out the facts in a very nonpolitical way.Yes I saw the Cuomo brother goofing off on Chris' show. So what? I don't think that was a large factor in his popularity. Hannity and Trump would pussyfoot on the reg on Fox and I don't think it mattered much in the grand scheme.
You asked why Cuomo‘s COVID response was so popular in the beginning. People unfortunately believe the liberal media and all the nice things it says about Democrats because they find politics boring and rarely spend much time researching the news. Occasionally they wake up and realize the liberal media has its collective head up its ass and is painting a villain as a hero.
You would think the average person would learn to distrust the liberal media but while trust is at an all time low they don’t always question a report.
