Chris Cuomo is coming back to TV. The embattled news anchor, who was fired from CNN in December, is joining NewsNation’s prime-time line-up this fall.Chris, 51, revealed the news during a sit-down chat with NewsNation's on Tuesday, where he discussed his new role with the Nexstar Media Group’s cable network.«I want to help.

I want to find a way to help people. I'm going to come to NewsNation, and I want to build something special here,» Chris shared toward the end of Tuesday's show. «We're really hungry to make a difference in ways that I think matter.»«I have decided that I can't go back to what people see as 'the big game.' I don't think I can make a difference there,» Chris shared. «I think we need insurgent media.

I think we need outlets that aren't fringe and just trying to fill their pockets.»While the name of Chris' forthcoming show has not yet been announced, Dan said it set to kick off later this year.Speaking about the media while teasing his announcement, Chis said he is not interested in «indicting the media,» but rather being part of a effort toward greater accountability.«We have the best media I've ever been around in the world...

Our media is good. It is strong. There are problems. The problems are getting worse... But I think you have to look at it holistically,» he shared. «Everybody has to want to have some responsibility.»During his sit-down interview, Chris also addressed his controversial departure from CNN, which came after he was suspended when documents surfaced that indicated he may have used his sources as a journalist and media personality to assist in helping his brother, then-New York Gov.
