Bari Weiss\u2019 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<\/u> a \u201cbrazen lie\u201d about the progressive Democratic mayor, Legum reported<\/u> Tuesday.<\/p>\n

CBS News\u2019 report centered around a petition<\/u> launched by Giovanni Galante, whose husband died in the 9\/11 attacks, calling for Mamdani \u2013 who is Muslim \u2013 to stay away from the 25th remembrance ceremony of the attacks. As of Tuesday morning, the petition had more than 24,000 signatures.<\/p>\n

The conservative tabloid New York Post ran a report<\/u> Sunday about the petition, and with the initial headline, according to Legum: \u201cSTAY AWAY: Thousands of 9\/11 families demand Mamdani be banned from 25th-Anniversary.\u201d On Monday, Legum said CBS News New York published a similar report, in which it claimed \u201cthousands of 9\/11 victims\u2019 families\u201d were asking Mamdani not to attend the ceremony.<\/p>\n

Writing in a report published Tuesday on Popular Information, his independent news publication, Legum noted that the New York Post\u2019s report directly contradicted its own headline by claiming \u201cat least 300 victims\u2019 families\u201d had signed the petition, despite the headline claiming it to have been \u201cthousands.\u201d<\/p>\n

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\u2019s signatories were 9\/11 victims\u2019 families.<\/p>\n

\u201cRather, 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,\u201d Legum wrote.<\/p>\n

Galante went on to explain how organizers came to the 300 figure.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all know each other, so\u2026think about it. If you know 10 people and they give it to 10 more people they know that lost,\u201d Galante said, according to Legum. \u201cThat\u2019s how we got the 300 number. I don\u2019t go through the list and look at the names.\u201d<\/p>\n

Legum later contacted CBS News New York for comment regarding the apparent discrepancy, after which, he said, the outlet had amended its report.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter Popular Information reached out for comment, that line was removed,\u201d Legum wrote. \u201cA revised article on the CBS website says the petition has \u2018purportedly drawn thousands of signatures, including some victims’ families.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Further supporting Legum\u2019s claim that CBS News New York had amended its report was a Monday post<\/u> on the publication\u2019s Facebook page, which showed that the original caption retained the “thousands of 9\/11 victims\u2019 families\u201d figure before being edited later that same night to \u201csome 9\/11 victims\u2019 families.\u201d<\/p>\n
