Mamdani and the media: From slugfest to lovefest

In this episode of FRANCE 24's media show Scoop we focus on coverage of Zohran Mamdani. Before they won election (and since, too), US President Donald Trump was attacked by the left, while Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar was bashed by the right. Candidates running for office must be tough-skinned. In this show, we are not asking if Mamdani was the right choice to be New York City's next mayor, but if media coverage of him was analytical and helpful to voters, or if it crossed a line. Our guest is journalist Hamilton Nolan.
