The subtext is, "oh are y'all (NYT) *the* media? Y'all ain't acted like *the* media in a long time. So we're doing our own thing. Check back with us when your>{Nyt, Fifth Estate's} house is in order.

SICK BURN TO NYT'S FACE!

The legacy reporters who cooked up his "college admissions scandal" during the campaign?

“Catnip for legacy reporters.” Oh no! Not the legacy reporters! They’ve been such a huge help these last ten years.

Completely incorrect. Fascism and constant lies are catnip for the ignorant stooges at NYT, and the Mamdani admin should ignore them altogether. NYT is a nest of reptilian trashbags jockeying for “most special bootlicker” for the dictatorship they are so desperate to usher in

My one precious life is too short to read this, but it sounds like this headline should have been "Mamdani Administration Benefits From 69% Approval Rating With Positive Independent Media Attention" Or are you saying the mayor should ignore or try to manage this? ABC would like a word.

There’s no good faith way to defend an organization that doesn’t operate in good faith

She's right. Truth hurts, @nytimes.com

this is like asking if I or my wife paid the power bill this month. They're the same people, they work for the same people

This is an extremely important point.

I literally will not share a post with a NYT link anymore. Cutting off their oxygen in my tiny way.

This. It’s infuriating how many DC Dem “strategists”, comms people, consultants, who have the gall to lecture the left plank of the Democratic Party. The audacity to try to malign actual successful communicators, w/ excellent policies like AOC or @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

See I didn’t even think about it this way but yes. I was mostly thinking about it from the perspective of he allows himself to be accesible, to the average person. He engages with the directly— regularly. I do however believe the NYT is attempting to argue anybody can be an influencer.

When the Trump people use US federal tax money to push their agenda and personality cults through influencers, we don't like it. I agree that we might as well fight fire with fire, but the blurring of traditional roles govt/media isn't necessarily great. Better framing: www.cjr.org/tow_center/m...

I dunno, "bypassing" "traditional media" seems like something work scrutinizing, even if we otherwise like the guy doing it.

>> in which the New York Times suddenly discovers the use of social media to bypass traditional media It reminds me of the panic over the blogosphere, just about 20 years ago. Dare I resurrect it? TIME FOR A BLOGGER ETHICS PANEL.

insane

Shots fired,... haha.

Jewish Democrats demand Abdul El-Sayed apologize and publicly support Israel.

Oh snap

Never really considered that angle on legacy media hating Mamdani. He won despite their efforts, which reveals their declining revelancy, which is heresy.

lol, she came so close! Next time the NYT comes whining she should just go all the way:

Yes all true but I’m not sure I’m loving the world where it’s mostly cost less for any random person to get a mass audience by telling them what they want to hear

The NYT does a lot of good work, but I cannot and will not pay them a dime. I wish I could. But I made that commitment in October of 2016, and while any of the same people are running it I will not purchase a subscription.

Excellent response

Immediately vindicated too as the article containing this quote is behind a paywall lol

The NYT doesn't deserve exclusivity for attacking the mayor at every opportunity...

love it when an attempted hit piece just makes the subject even cooler

Do you think NYT are aware enough to realize she was describing them?

I love it. Strong "I said good day, sir!" vibes there.

God this is some "I'd like to report a murder" shit wow

I must have already had that turned on because I'm seeing the pagination now on my post. Thanks for the tip.

They really buried the lede there, amirite?

I have no doubt a lot of hit dogs in the legacy press will be hollering over this.
