For its report, the newspaper [NYT] used information that it received from a source named Jordan Lasker, a "eugenicist," as Guardian columnist Margaret Sullivan wrote, who has defended "race science" and claimed Black people are mentally inferior to white people.

The report by Benjamin Ryan, Nicholas Fandos, and Dana Rubinstein led media critic Sullivan to ask at The Guardian whether New York City's venerated legacy newspaper is "trying to wreck Zohran Mamdani's mayoral bid."

Its sad that anyone gives NYT the benefit of the doubt.
