Last week, Popular Information reported that a New York Post headline falsely claimed that “Thousands of 9/11 families demand Mamdani be banned from 25th-Anniversary.” But a Popular Information interview with the organizer of the petition revealed that this was false, and that there was not an actual list of family members who signed the petition. The media outlets that pushed the false narrative later tried to cover their tracks.
One of the outlets that published the New York Post’s false narrative was CBS News New York. But this week, CBS News New York aired a new segment highlighting people with family members who died on 9/11 “defending Mayor Mamdani’s inclusion in this year’s solemn remembrance ceremony.”
One Nation, an opaque nonprofit affiliated with Senate Republicans, spent $1.7 million in less than a week on a new ad attacking Senator Jon Ossoff (D). The ad received 78 million impressions across Georgia. But almost nothing in it is true. The ad attacks Ossoff for positions that have actually been pursued by Republicans, including cutting the child tax credit.
