Mehdi vs. the New York Times
The Times called out our editor-in-chief for supposedly "misstating the facts" on its softball coverage of the GOP, versus its nonstop criticisms of progressives. But Mehdi came back with receipts.

It’s not everyday that the most-subscribed newspaper in the U.S. comes after you.
The New York Times – notorious for whitewashing Israel’s genocide in Gaza – published a profile piece on Darializa Avila Chevalier, one of three Mamdani-backed progressives who shocked the Democratic establishment when they won their NYC primaries last week.
“Who is Darializa Avila Chevalier?” the headline asks. The piece features old social media posts from Chevalier that say things like “Fuck Kamala Harris” – quotes that Times chief White House correspondent Peter Baker amplified on Twitter:
Mehdi responded to Baker’s post, calling out the Times for scrutinizing progressives while giving right-wingers a pass, even though GOP politicians routinely traffic in much more extreme and racist rhetoric:
The New York Times PR team proceeded to tweet at Mehdi in response, implying that he was “misstating the facts”:
Of course, Mehdi responded – with receipts:
So, you can subscribe to the self-declared “both sides” journalism of the mainstream New York Times, where racists, Islamophobes, and literal Nazis get off easy.
Or, you can support a new kind of media that’s independent and unafraid – journalism that refuses to both-sides genocide, fascism, and white supremacy.
The choice is yours.

Bravo, Mehdi! Canceled my NYT subscription because of their Gaza coverage. Pleased to be an early subscriber of Zeteo.
