As has often been said, the corporate press are nothing if not a predictable lot, and that has certainly been the case in the aftermath of Democrat Socialist Zohran Mamdani's apparent Democrat mayoral primary victory in New York City, with the swooning commencing even before former NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo conceded defeat.

We reported earlier, for instance, on how definitive proof existed well before the primary took place that the left's/MSM's latest "flavor of the month" was a genuine communist. And yet, instead of focusing on how troublesome it was that the guy who wants to be mayor of one of America's most iconic cities essentially wanted to destroy it, some in the press focused on... fashion choices, with others trying to suggest that "globalize the intifada" doesn't mean exactly what it means.

Not surprisingly, CNN's Jake Tapper got in on the action as well, demanding New York Mayor Eric Adams, one of Mamdani's general election opponents, prove his claims about Mamdani supporting Hamas in its war against Israel. Tapper clearly didn't believe it, and doubted Adams could do it - until Adams dropped receipts.

As further evidence that the corporate press is rotten to the core, CNN is still at it, going to bat for Mamdani over his proposal to implement city-owned grocery stores if elected, trotting out the "experts" as though anyone trusts - or should trust - "experts" anymore these days:

“This is more common than people are aware of,” said Nevin Cohen, director of the City University of New York’s Urban Food Policy Institute. “There’s a wide spectrum of food retail establishments that could be created by or with the support of city government.”

But Errol Schweizer, a veteran of the grocery industry who publishes the newsletter “The Checkout Grocery Update” and has written in support of a public grocery sector, said Mamdani’s proposal would address a failing in the market. Government-owned grocery stores would not compete directly with bodegas and convenience stores, which typically do not sell fresh produce and meat.

As one might expect, people had thoughts:

If that doesn't scare people away from the concept of government-owned grocery stores, I don't know what would.
