The article highlights the perceived double standard in mainstream media coverage of Zohran Mamdani, a socialist mayoral candidate in New York City, who has won the Democratic primary. While networks like ABC, CBS, and NBC frame him as charismatic and progressive, they avoid labeling him as extreme despite his controversial positions, such as anti-Israel rhetoric and support for groups linked to Hamas. The media outlets tend to use positive adjectives like ‘charismatic,’ ‘progressive,’ and ‘anti-establishment’ while ignoring his far-left policies and past associations. The article criticizes the media for potentially obscuring the ideological shifts in the Democratic Party and the risks associated with Mamdani’s policies, which include city-run grocery stores, defunding police, and safe injection sites.
