#22: Chris Cuomo
Chris Cuomo once held court nightly on CNN, blending sharp commentary with a polished delivery on Cuomo Prime Time. Before that, he built a solid résumé at ABC News, covering legal affairs and co-hosting 20/20. But a high-profile scandal—and his proximity to political family drama—eroded much of that goodwill.
Now, 20% of viewers say they distrust him entirely. It’s a steep fall for a journalist once considered a rising star. His reporting chops remain intact, but the lines between personal loyalty and professional responsibility blurred too deeply for many. Trust, it seems, doesn’t survive unscathed in the spotlight.
