    1. >Bari Weiss’ CBS News New York was forced to remove a line from its coverage of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani after journalist Judd Legum identified what he called a “brazen lie” about the progressive Democratic mayor, Legum reported Tuesday.

      >CBS News’ report centered around a petition launched by Giovanni Galante, whose husband died in the 9/11 attacks, calling for Mamdani – who is Muslim – to stay away from the 25th remembrance ceremony of the attacks. As of Tuesday morning, the petition had more than 24,000 signatures.

      >The conservative tabloid New York Post ran a report Sunday about the petition, and with the initial headline, according to Legum: “STAY AWAY: Thousands of 9/11 families demand Mamdani be banned from 25th-Anniversary.” On Monday, Legum said CBS News New York published a similar report, in which it claimed “thousands of 9/11 victims’ families” were asking Mamdani not to attend the ceremony.

      >Writing in a report published Tuesday on Popular Information, his independent news publication, Legum noted that the New York Post’s report directly contradicted its own headline by claiming “at least 300 victims’ families” had signed the petition, despite the headline claiming it to have been “thousands.”

      >To get to the bottom of the discrepancy, Legum conducted an interview with Galante, who went on to admit that no list existed regarding how many of the petition’s signatories were 9/11 victims’ families.

      >“Rather, the 300 figure that organizers shared with the New York Post was an estimate based on how they believe the petition spread before it received much publicity,” Legum wrote.

    2. This has been going on for how long now. The whole point is say what you want, go with it, and then worry about cleaning it up if forced long after anyone can be convinced that it was never true in the first place.

    3. ***Rather, the 300 figure that organizers shared with the New York Post was an estimate based on how they believe the petition spread before it received much publicity***

      “See we come up with our own facts to make what we say sound true but when you all in the media report those facts it makes us liars & we don’t care much for that!”

      Judd Legum is a stand out in a group rapidly approaching extinction- decent American journalists.

      Giovanni Galante probably voted for Trump who’s real cozy with the Saudis that helped murder her husband lol

      Bari has zero cred. She is a schill and hope this follows her the rest of her career. She is an idiot. Full stop.

    7. They claimed that 24,000 people signed a petition to keep the mayor, Zohran Mamdani, a Muslim, away from the 25th anniversary commemoration of the 9/11 attacks. It was bullshit.

      Paramount execs are regretting making this political. Yeah, since they’re hemorrhaging money and might lose WB.

    9. Increasingly friends and colleagues who are non-white and not Christians are starting to tell me they are seriously looking at options to leave the country. Frankly, I don’t blame them, every signal that the US is about to make a hard turn towards a dictatorship is there. The country is rapidly moving to the world imagined in the Handmaid’s Tale.

      Everyone who has been smeared and defamed by Bari Weiss needs to sue CBS. Follow Trump’s tactic and sue, sue, sue.

    11. CBS used to be my go-to news station. I cancelled Paramount+ and switched to ABC and NBC for regular news. At least these stations push-back on Trump’s lies.

    12. Stooge: Hey Bari what should we report on today?

      Bari: Who cares, just repost whatever was on the front page of the NY Post

    13. It’s not the facts that matter in a news story anymore. It’s the emotion it generates.

      „Well, it FEELS LIKE Mamdani wouldn’t have been invited, so that is what I choose to believe!“

    14. Not surprised seeing how CBS is pretty the NY Post now. Sad how far CBS has fallen.

      CBS is GARBAGE now…NO credibility- right up there with Faux News, OAN and Newsmax
