US EditionCNN’s Abby Phillip wrongly claims New York City terror attack was ‘against’ Zohran Mamdani, apologizes
CNN issued on-air apologies after mistakenly reporting an ISIS-inspired attack targeted NYC Mayor Mamdani, when the device was thrown at far-right protesters outside Gracie Mansion.
- On Saturday, two young men hurled an explosive device at far-right protesters outside New York City's Gracie Mansion, and authorities described the incident as ISIS-inspired.
- On Tuesday, CNN's Abby Phillip read from a teleprompter that the bomb-throwers targeted New York's mayor, Zohran Mamdani, and Ana Navarro repeated the false claim.
- Phillip later apologized on Wednesday morning after misreporting, while investigators are digging into the backgrounds of the two suspects accused of throwing homemade bombs.
- The network faces renewed questions about credibility after former New York City councilman Joe Borelli corrected CNN's repeated error, while critics cited "institutionally-driven incompetence."
- Observers urged that television-news logistics do not excuse repeated mistakes and that on-air corrections are necessary for accuracy, noting the article's author framed the views as the author's perspective.
