I'm not very familiar with Cuomo, but I'll certainly take your word for it.
Regardless, Cuomo and CNN desperately wanted to avoid talking about Biden at all costs. If you watched the CNN video above, after the interview the commentators all discussed whether or not they had a 'gotcha' moment with Giuliani, not whether or not Giuliani had any newsworthy information about Biden, which should have been the real news.

Fuckin typical 
(I didnt watch the hosts...i find it harder and harder to make time for corporate news talking heads of all stripes)
ETA: I'm no Cuomo fanboy but I do like to watch his interviews with Rudy and I KNOW those guys have shared many drinks and laughs (at least in the past) after the cameras stop rolling. Also, I'm all too familiar with the stereotypical NYC rudeboy way of conversing, from friends, family, and business associates alike.

CUOMO: Did you ask the Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden? GIULIANI: No. Actually, I didn't. I asked the Ukraine to investigate the allegations that there was interference in the election of 2016 by the Ukrainians for the benefit of Hillary Clinton, for which there already is a -- CUOMO: You never asked anything about Hunter Biden? You never asked anything about Joe Biden and his role with the prosecutor? GIULIANI: The only thing I ask about Joe Biden is to get to the bottom of how it was that Lutsenko, who was appointed, dismissed the case against -- CUOMO: So you did ask Ukraine to look into Joe Biden. GIULIANI: Of course I did. CUOMO: You just said you didn't. GIULIANI: No, I didn't ask him to look into Joe Biden, I asked him to look into the allegations that related to my client, which tangentially involve Joe Biden in a massive bribery scheme, not unlike what he did in China. You explain to me how the kid got $1.5 billion from China when Joe Biden was selling us out -- CUOMO: Rudy, I have no problem with you launching allegations but just be careful about what you say. I asked you, did you ask Ukraine to look at Joe Biden? you said no. Then you went on to say that you did. It's all recorded. GIULIANI: No, I didn't say that. What I said is this: I asked them to investigate the allegations that relate to the false charges against the President of the United States. Those allegations tangentially involve Biden -- CUOMO: So your answer should have been "yes". GIULIANI: Let me finish. CUOMO: Did the President talk to the Ukrainian President about what he wanted done with Joe Biden and what he wanted done with Paul Manafort? GIULIANI: I have no idea. I never asked him that. I don't know if he did. And I wouldn't care if he did. He had every right to do it as the President of the United States. He had every right to say to the Ukrainian President "We have two outstanding allegations of massive corruption, and we should investigate". CUOMO: Did he ask you to do what you were doing? GIULIANI: No, I did what I did on my own, and then I told him about it afterwards. CUOMO: Really? GIULIANI: Because I'm his lawyer, and I know how to investigate -- CUOMO: So you never talked to him about it before, you only talked to him about it afterwards? GIULIANI: Three months after I found out about it, and then I found out that it was true by getting signed sworn statements from five people in the Ukraine who said that we were brought into the White House, the Obama White House, and we were told "go did up dirt on Trump and Manafort in January of 2016". You have no idea how big this is.
Guiliani sounds pretty sane to me. It sounds like the establishment media are DESPARATE to keep people from investigating Joe Biden, and some of us obey what they tell us.
"without the relevant context removed"
What relevant context was removed?
Do you mean the video I shared in my original post that included the entire exchange?
The content that I shared in my original post? Is that the "relevant context" you are talking about?
What, am I supposed to transcribe the entire 3 minute exchange for you?
Giuliani directly contradicted himself.
None of the "relevant context" that you provided (even though it was included in my original post) changes that fact.

For the record, I have no problem with Joe Biden's candidacy being sacrificed for the cause of removing Trump.
Whether mainstream media is trying to protect him or not, you may be right about that. I don't know.
But what I do know is the idea of Trump or Giuliani "investigating" the Bidens or criticizing them for nepotism or corruption is one of the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard in my life.

If you want to claim CNN had a gotcha moment, fine.
What I'm saying is that it's not nearly as bad with the full context as it is without it.
Yes, you posted the video containing the full text for the handful that watched it.
But the handful that watched it also knows CNN doesn't care at all about Biden's corruption, which should have been a much bigger story than Giuliani sort of (?) misspeaking.

Context?
He was talking about what happens when two people under oath give a different story about the same situation. For a third party, it would appear truth isn't truth.

Lol what a crock of shit. Manafort didn’t have anything to do with the campaign until mid March 2016.

Asking whether Trump/Giuliani wanted to investigate Biden is asking about Trump/Giuliani. I shouldn't have to explain that to you.

Along with other alternative sources, because it's not coming from CNN and the mainstream media.
The nice thing about it is that Jimmy and other alternative sources back themselves up with evidence.

Asking whether Trump/Giuliani wanted to investigate Biden is asking about Trump/Giuliani. I shouldn't have to explain that to you.
It’s also asking about Biden. It certainly doesn’t qualify as “desperately avoiding talking about Biden”
You are absolutely obsessed with Biden btw
