US EditionCNN’s Abby Phillip wrongly claims New York City terror attack was ‘against’ Zohran Mamdani, apologizes
CNN hosts mistakenly reported an ISIS-inspired attack targeted NYC Mayor Mamdani; the devices were actually thrown at far-right protesters near Gracie Mansion, officials said.
- On Tuesday, Abby Phillip, CNN NewsNight host, read a teleprompter line wrongly saying bombers targeted New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani, while the attack at Gracie Mansion struck far-right protesters.

- Former New York City councilman Joe Borelli corrected the record as investigators probe the backgrounds of the two suspects accused of throwing homemade bombs near Mayor Zohran Mamdani's home.
- On Wednesday, CNN issued corrections and faced criticism after Phillip apologized for her error, with viewers and critics warning the mischaracterization risked misleading them.
- Critics framed the error as evidence of institutional bias, arguing it reflected broader narratives about political violence, while the article's author noted some passages mix reporting with commentary.
