Cuomo concedes to left-wing Zohran Mamdani in NY mayor primary
The 33-year-old democratic socialist would be the first Muslim to lead the nation's largest city if elected.
Edited title to not use potentially opinionated "outsider" term. Original article title does use it
You're viewing a single thread.
“Outsider”??? Word choice is so important, and an “outsider” often has negative connotations. Outsiders are other, not like us, different, strange.
Point being: when are we going to start holding these “traditional media” outlets accountable for going out of their way to mischaracterize anyone slightly left of alt-right?
I’m sorry, but that word choice is intentional to cast Mamdani in a negative light. I’m just so tired and done with this bullshit. Fuck you, BBC. You’re an embarrassment to journalism.
Can't change the BBC title, but did edit the title here to remove that now that you point that out
Good news, seems they did it themselves. Either that or I’m intensely confused by this thread..
Currently reads “Left-wing Democrat stuns former governor in NY mayor primary”.
Ah yep looks like they updated their title again. Not sure I like that it's vaguer about it all with no names listed but at least it's less judgemental
Seems to be showing up under a few different title, really annoying how news sites do this nowadays.
Also, "outsider" is a weird thing to call a sitting assemblyman in his third term.
I just took it as a way to say “not the incumbent”
