Chris Cuomo: 我并没有对任何人撒谎,只是CNN的新老板不喜欢我的行为方式。媒体的‘猎杀’心态让我很受伤,因为我为一件现在人们都忘记的事情付出了巨大的代价。我经历了人生的低谷,但我选择放下过去,向前看。我仍然会与我的兄弟安德鲁联系,尽管他很担心我再次受到媒体的攻击。我对我过去的一些行为感到后悔,但我相信自己能够吸取教训,变得更好。 Bill Maher: 媒体总是想要‘血债血偿’,他们的关注点不在于事件本身,而在于他们能从中获得什么。并非所有错误都该被判死刑,在新的工作岗位上犯错是难免的,尤其是在刚开始的时候。无论左右派,人们犯错后都会被追究责任,但我们不应该总是以最糟糕的时刻来评判一个人。媒体对某些人的私生活进行报道,那么他们也应该接受同样的待遇。民主党对性丑闻的处理方式是,只要有指控就足够了。对安德鲁·库莫和阿米·汉默的指控经调查后发现证据不足。川普之所以不受媒体影响,是因为他的支持者不接受媒体的批评。人们对媒体的评价会影响他们对媒体报道的信任度。我们已经失去了对善恶的判断力,令人难以置信的是,美国大学生竟然会支持哈马斯。

Shownotes Transcript

On this episode, Bill catches up with journalist Chris Cuomo. They get into Chris’s current life since his CNN exit, why he’s suing to clear his name, and reflect on the media’s “scalp-hunting” mentality. Chris opens up about growing up in a political dynasty under his father Mario and working closely with his brother Andrew, how policy fights don’t always match party ideals, and what it’s like navigating scandal in a 24/7 news cycle. They swap thoughts on Trump’s flair for the dramatic, America’s appetite for outrage, the “defund the police” debate, how we lost the art of joking about sensitive topics, and why it’s vital to push back against extremes on either side. Throughout the conversation, Bill and Chris find common ground in calling out hypocrisy, highlighting nuance in politics, and believing we shouldn’t judge people by their worst moments—and they close out with some friendly banter on self-defense, fatherhood, and the value of letting go of grudges.
