CNN’s Chris Cuomo Interviews Brother Andrew Cuomo on Train Derailment

‘We’re family, so we’ve been talking about this a lot’

Chris Cuomo's Interview With His Brother Andrew Raises Eyebrows (Huffington Post)

It was not odd that New York governor Andrew Cuomo appeared on CNN's "New Day" on Monday morning to talk about the tragic train derailment that took place in the Bronx on Sunday.

What was a little strange was the person who was interviewing Cuomo: his brother, Chris.

Journalists usually refrain from directly interviewing their family members, even in normal breaking news situations. And there was a certain level of awkwardness in watching Chris call Andrew "Governor," and then say, "Now obviously to those who don't know, we are family, so we've been talking about this a lot."
