An important thing to note is that Jeremy Corbyn was also incessantly asked about antisemitism but proved constitutionally incapable of giving Mamdani’s style of gracious answer
He has been giving the same answer for months but he's asked about it every interview. These questions aren't being asked to inform the public. They exist to continually suggest to viewers that Mamdani secretly hates Jews.
WELKER: What is your message to Jewish New Yorkers who feel you won't be tough enough in your response to antisemitism?
MAMDANI: That I am looking forward to being the next mayor and fulfilling the commitment I've made to Jewish New Yorkers to not only protect them but to celebrate and cherish them

Also that lots of people talk about these three things but don’t actually want them, they want news they agree with.
We all insist that’s something *other people* do, not ourselves, but there’s a lotttt of it about.
We all insist that’s something *other people* do, not ourselves, but there’s a lotttt of it about.
Objectivity, impartiality and balance are all *different things*, and the lazy tendency to treat them as synonyms, and to use partisan balance alone as a proxy for the others, is the root cause of a vast amount of nonsense.
Robbie Gibb once suggested that reporters should reflect if they were getting more retweets from one side than the other - a braindead analysis that ignores that fair and impartial reporting of education might get more Tory retweets than say, criminal justice.

It seems untenable for the Democratic Party’s top leader to view himself as a “guardian of Israel” at a time when like 70% of the party’s voters think Israel committed genocide
Senate Democratic Minority Leader Schumer’s decision not to endorse Zohran Mamdani in the NYC mayoral race “was driven in large part…by his self-conception as a guardian of Israel, something he considers a core part of his personal and political identity.”
