Judith Miller, a former reporter for The New York Times, was a key figure in reporting on Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) prior to the 2003 invasion. Her reporting, particularly her exclusives citing Saddam Hussein's possession of WMDs, were prominently used by the Bush administration to build the case for war. Miller later acknowledged that her reporting relied too heavily on sources connected to the Bush administration and that she didn't adequately consider dissenting views.

I mentioned Zohran to my aging mother (who lives in a suburb, and cannot vote in NYC elections). She was like, "You didn't vote for him did you? He's a communist"
We decided not to go into details right then, but it's wild what a deep, emotional, response the idea of "communism" evokes. I don't know what she even thinks it is.

Because they are capitalists
Maybe look into where they get their funding. Follow the money to the truth, just expect to be disgusted when you find it. On a related note, go back and watch HBO's the Wire to see why real systemic change doesn't happen.
We've been trying to tell yall for years. For anti capitalist? Socialists? All manners of leftists? Biggest enemy has always and will always be liberals.

Because it's a shit-tier rag that's consistently skewed in favor of a few special interests - involving apologizing constantly for one that is currently blowing kids up on our dime. I honestly cannot understand why anyone would give this rag any credence since they drummed us into a war in 2003.

It's this and other factors. The real enemy of the neolibs was not communism. The real enemy was and still is the social democracy. The welfare state that protect everyone is what they want to abolish. Mamdani is for lots of people the image of this social democracy. If he wins, they lose. If he wins, he put the social democracy back on track. They are afraid of that.
Feels like grasping at straws, here. Sure, NYT aren't his biggest fans, but the article has this as evidence of its' claims:
"opinions on Israel are changing fast", and cautioned that "Mamdani's victory is not a fluke. It's a sign of things to come."
He is, of course, right.
Clearly The MiddleEastEye agrees with NYT about Mamandi, so let me flip that; why is MEE so afraid of Zohran Mamdani?
After Bidens debate performance they published 80 articles in 2 weeks about it...

Because there are a lot of Zionists in the media. They have their marching orders from their handlers. Kill any progressiveness.
Can't stop to read now but I'd wager some politicians are to scared of trump and his supporters to allow real left wing populism

Such a well-written article. Lots of emotion, but it's incredibly right on.
