The @nytimes continues its self-invalidation tour…
How many Ivy League degrees does it take for you to figure out Uganda is in Africa?

As the @nytimes assistant managing editor for Standards and Trust, I’ve received reader feedback regarding our reporting on Zohran Mamdani’s 2009 application to Columbia University. To provide context on how the reporting came together, I wanted to share some information:
All those elected officials who backed Cuomo—ask yourself, were they thinking about what’s best for our communities or what’s best for themselves?
Don’t just follow the herd.
Do your own research.
Vote for who truly represents YOU and what YOU need—not who benefits the insiders.

📉 Only 31% of Americans trust the mass media — near a record low.
Trust by party:
🔴 GOP: 12%
🟡 Independents: 27%
🔵 Democrats: 54%
👥 Ages 18–29: 26%
Without trust, truth struggles.

Crazy how birds fly in formation — they move together in sync, and because of that, they actually fly farther than they ever could alone.
It's nature's way of showing that unity gives you more reach, more endurance.
Now contrast that with the male lion. He's strong, no doubt, but at some point, he gets pushed out of his pride — left to survive alone.
That's often when his downfall starts.
Just something to think about: moving solo might feel powerful, but moving together can take you further. Let's keep looking out for each other and building together — that's how we all win.

The drones that were flying in New Jersey last month were authorized by the government for recreational and research purposes according to the White House. Why didn’t the government just say that last month instead of alarming thousands of people?

Serena Townsend is quoted in the papers that I don’t believe there’s a place in society for the media. Where did she get that from? I never said nor believe that. She was fired from the NYC department of corrections for incompetency now she has become a “rent a quote” for every reporter writing a negative story about the Adams administration. I believe in the media when they report facts and both sides of a story.
My response to a call I received from a reporter.

#content deprived media
I received a call from a reporter about a post that I reposted that was critical of the media. He is writing a story on it. My response was according to the Gallup poll, 67% of the Country doesn’t trust the content from the media. Give facts and both sides of the story. If more of the media did this then the trust would climb.
