Around these parts, we’re big fans of Smilin’ Zohran Mamdani, his policies, his campaign, his purty face and purty wife, and his goddamn joy. But you know who does not like the Muslim immigrant from Africa/Democratic nominee for New York City mayor? New York Times assignment editor Chris Rufo — or the New York Times.

On Thursday afternoon before the holiday weekend, the Times dropped a real fucked up turd of a story on Mamdani (don’t worry, that’s a no-clicks-for-them archive link) — a real SCOOP! and GOTCHA! — about how as a teenager, 16 years ago, he had checked boxes pronouncing himself Asian and “Black or African American” when applying for Columbia. About halfway through the story, the Times deigned to mention he didn’t even get in. They also let us know the application was among the bounty of Columbia admissions records that had been hacked (by an anti-affirmative-action criminal group, apparently), and their intermediary was a man they had promised to keep anonymous but they eventually updated to let us know he liked to write about “I.Q. and race.”

This story was an ethical catastrophe — so of course the New York Times has doubled down, tripled down, and is braying all over the known universe that people being like “what the fucking FUCK New York Times?” proves it’s right.

Let us count some YOU FUCKING KIDDING US WITH THIS.

wrapped up in all the good PR and advertising money can buy.
