"In
a move that smacks of rank hypocrisy and condescension, Governor
Cuomo announced on Wednesday — in the midst of a televised
coronavirus briefing — that he would be foregoing his scheduled

conservative news outlets, including the

Fox News,
condemned the Governor’s expected pay increase in the face of a
growing state deficit."
