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

It appears that the activist left is experiencing a rare moment of discontent this week. The reason? A little dose of accountability from the media, a phenomenon they’re not accustomed to when it comes to their favored candidates.

In a recent exposé, the liberal bastion known as the New York Times cast a critical eye on New York City’s communist mayoral hopeful, Zohran Mamdani. The revelation? He listed himself as black on his Columbia University application, a detail that has sparked outrage among some of his supporters. How dare the Times engage in journalism that dares to tarnish the reputation of one of their own!

FOX News reports:

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

The New York Times seems to be scrambling for damage control after its article revealing that mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani identified as both Asian and African American on his 2009 college application ruffled the feathers of some readers. In response, an editor from the publication took to social media to mitigate the controversy on Friday.

The article stated that Mamdani checked the boxes for “Asian” and “Black or African American” when asked to indicate his race on his Columbia application, a piece published on Thursday.

This information came to light after a cyberattack on Columbia University in late June exposed sensitive data, including Mamdani’s application, to hackers.

And now, let’s take a moment to appreciate the Times’ attempt at appeasement:

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.

While some on the left may see Mamdani as a beacon of hope, reminiscent of a youthful Barack Obama, the reality is that his policies could lead to significant challenges for New York City. Even the journalists at the New York Times seem to sense the turbulence ahead.
