Episode Details

A bombshell story by the New York Post claimed thousands of 9/11 families demanded Mayor Zohran Mamdani be barred from the anniversary ceremony — but journalist Judd Legum’s deep dive revealed major inaccuracies in the report. The Post’s initial claim about petition origins and signature counts didn’t hold up under scrutiny, exposing how quickly misinformation can go viral and the outsized influence media outlets wield. This episode is a wake-up call: always verify big claims, especially when they’re amplified by powerful outlets — because in today’s digital world, truth can get buried fast.
