NY Times Gets Attacked by the Left for Publishing Story About Zohran Mamdani Claiming He Was Black on Columbia University Application

As you may have noticed, the activist left gets very angry when the media goes after a Democrat that they like. The left simply isn’t used to it, because it almost never happens.

This week, the liberal New York Times dropped a bombshell on NYC communist and mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, exposing the fact that he described himself as black on his application to Columbia University.

This outraged a number of people on the left. How dare the New York Times perform an act of journalism that negatively affects their side?!

NY Times addresses backlash over report on NYC mayoral candidate Mamdani’s college application

The New York Times seems to be in damage control after the paper’s story about New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani identifying as Asian and African American on his college application upset some of its readers, leading to an editor from the outlet attempting to clear up the controversy on social media on Friday.

The article claimed that Mamdani, when asked his race on his 2009 college application to Columbia University, checked the boxes for “Asian” but also “Black or African American,” in their article published on Thursday.

The Times’ assistant managing editor for Standards and Trust, Patrick Healy, put out a lengthy statement on X the following day after receiving “reader feedback” on the article…

Mamdani’s application was made available to The Times after a cyberattack on Columbia University in late June led to some of the school’s sensitive information being exposed to the hackers.

Look at the groveling:

As the @nytimes assistant managing editor for Standards and Trust, I’ve received reader feedback regarding our reporting on Zohran Mamdani’s 2009 application to Columbia University. To provide context on how the reporting came together, I wanted to share some information:

The Times has been reporting comprehensively on Mr. Mamdani’s proposals for the city, his vision on the economy and affordability, his leadership record and his personal background, including his biography and South Asian heritage that he’s talked about during his campaign.

Times journalists for decades have done deep reporting on major party nominees for New York’s mayor to provide insight, context and texture about their priorities, history and evolution. Our reporting helps readers better understand how candidates think and what they believe.

The left thinks it has found its new Obama, but Zohran Mamdani would destroy New York City and even the activist reporters at the New York Times know this.
