"Zohran Mamdani Ally Bill de Blasio Says His Policies Don't Add Up,"
"In my view, the math doesn't hold up under scrutiny, and the political hurdles are substantial."
"It is an absolute violation of journalistic ethics. The truth is I fully support @ZohranKMamdani and believe his vision is both necessary and achievable."
"The Times has apologised to Bill de Blasio and removed the article immediately after discovering that our reporter had been misled by an individual falsely claiming to be the former New York mayor."
A reputable British newspaper published quotes falsely attributed to Bill de Blasio that appeared to criticize mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani. De Blasio denied ever speaking to the paper, called the claims entirely false and fabricated, and demanded a retraction while affirming support for Mamdani. The newspaper removed the piece and apologized, stating a reporter had been misled by someone falsely claiming to be the former mayor. Despite the removal, aggregated versions of the quotes circulated online and were shared by other media and political campaign staff. The newspaper provided no further details about how the deception occurred.
