PBS Highlights Missteps by NY Democrats in Pandemic Response
By Brad Wilmouth | May 1, 2020 6:19 PM EDT
On Thursday's Amanpour & Co. on PBS and CNN International, the show devoted a segment to the handling of the coronavirus pandemic in New York, and gave a surprising amount of criticism toward Mayor Bill de Blasio and Governor Andrew Cuomo.
In an interview hosted by NPR weekend anchor Michel Martin, The New Yorker's Charles Duhigg argued that the death toll in the state has been 50 to 80 percent higher than it could have been if the two Democrats had taken advice from their health advisors more quickly as he also recalled that the two feuded and sent mixed messages during the response.
It was even noted that de Blasio hypocritically went to a gym to work out after Governor Cuomo advised the public against such unnecessary travel.
