Mamdani or Man Candy? PBS's Embarrassing Photo Gush Over NYC New Leftist Mayor

As the start of New York City mayor-in waiting Zohran Mamdani’s term looms, there are plenty of stories to cover, with concerns about the viability of his left-wing policy promises and his propensity to surround himself with anti-semites, and his own related controversies.

Sunday evening’s segment on PBS wasn’t one of them. Attaining a level of journalistic integrity only previously reached by Teen Beat magazine, Sunday’s PBS News Weekend gushed over man candy Mamdani’s “remarkable rise” to mayor with his campaign photographer Kara McCurdy.
