“The New York Times’[s] Nicholas Fandos broke the news Thursday morning that New York State Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani received a blockbuster endorsement from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez ]D-NY] in a major boost to his insurgent campaign for mayor. This scoop made headlines and energized the Mamdani campaign as well as his array of devoted followers. But the article included a typical grimy New York Times pot shot that’s worth further analysis, namely because it’s not the first — and likely won’t be the last — time the New York Times tries to sneak in this particular falsehood. It reads: ‘Mr. Mamdani, for example, has alienated parts of the city’s large Jewish community with his outspoken support for the Palestinian cause and accusations that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.’ The reader would likely come away from reading this section with the distinct impression Mamdani is uniquely struggling with Jewish New York voters.” (06/06/25)
