After CBS News New York was forced to amend a report that included a “baseless” smear of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, the Bari Weiss-run outlet later “tried to cover their tracks” with subsequent moves, journalist Judd Legum reported Monday. The issue, as Legum flagged last week, was that the organizer behind the petition claimed that only 300 9/11 victims’ families had signed the petition. “This version, which remains in [place] today, falsely suggests that the petition represents the view of 9/11 families as a group,” Legum wrote. CBS News’ main account on X would also share a link to the original CBS News New York report about Mamdani before quickly removing that as well , according to Legum. “So why is the CBS News New York article still online if CBS News believes it’s inaccurate?”
