After CBS News New York was forced to amend a report<\/u> that included a \u201cbaseless\u201d smear of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, the Bari Weiss-run outlet later \u201ctried to cover their tracks\u201d with subsequent moves, journalist Judd Legum reported<\/u> Monday.<\/p>\n

On July 27, CBS News New York published a report about an online petition with the following headline: \u201cThousands of 9\/11 victims\u2019 families are asking New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani not to attend this year\u2019s solemn remembrance ceremony.\u201d <\/p>\n

The issue, as Legum flagged last week, was that the organizer behind the petition claimed that only 300 9\/11 victims\u2019 families had signed the petition. When pressed by Legum as to how they came up with the 300 figure, the petition organizer admitted<\/u> it was an estimate and that they did not actually \u201cgo through the list and look at the names.\u201d<\/p>\n

CBS News New York amended its headline after being contacted by Legum for comment, and amended it a third time on July 28 to: \u201cPetition from 9\/11 families asks NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani not to attend remembrance ceremony.\u201d CBS News New York’s latest amendment, Legum argued, was also false.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis version, which remains in [place] today, falsely suggests that the petition represents the view of 9\/11 families as a group,\u201d Legum wrote.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the story was picked up by CBS News\u2019 main account on Instagram in video format, according to Legum, a video that would soon be \u201cremoved without explanation.\u201d CBS News\u2019 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<\/u>, according to Legum.<\/p>\n

Legum claimed that a \u201csource inside CBS News\u201d told him that the network \u201ctook the post down\u201d once they learned CBS News New York\u2019s reporting \u201cwas inaccurate.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo why is the CBS News New York article still online if CBS News believes it\u2019s inaccurate?\u201d Legum asked.<\/p>\n
