In a press conference this week on New York City’s $12 billion budget gap, Mayor Zohran Mamdani zeroed in on the previous administration’s artificial intelligence chatbot as one of “a number of different things we’re going to pursue for savings.”

I've seen one today: "Mamdani admits massive NYC deficit! Proof socialism doesn't work!". Dude, he wasn't mayor a month ago, pretty sure socialism isn't the problem here...

Not the first time I read that kind of BS. In Cadiz (Spain), a left wing major said 1 month after being appointed that the previous right wing major left nothing but spider webs in the accounts. The right wing tried to push that as "only a month and he has broken the city".

Is that a real headline? If so, that's extremely dishonest journalism...

Conservatives don't care about truth or internal consistency. They just want to harm the out-group.

Generally, I would never put much weight into an article with an exclamation mark in the headline.

The overly rich own most large news outlets so it‘s not surprising.

Yup, when they asked "Is that a real headline?" The song "This is America" popped into my head...

IIRC It was newsmaxx or some other propaganda outlet.
