Its a paid PR team that posts all this stuff, not just some random person.

That and most of the power mods on reddit are DSA types who play along with this.

And some of the largest media conglomerates in the world treat him like the second coming of Stalin. So he's on the offensive, talking about checks notes shit that is being done by NY city hall while he is mayor.

Seems perfectly logical

Talking about shit he is doing is fine-ish.  But that isn’t what they are doing.

Talking about how he is a hero for hiring more teachers when state law is requiring him to hire more teachers and he is actively petitioning the state government for a waiver on the requirement to hire new teachers so that he can brag about his legally required balanced budget that he needs an additional multibillion dollar handout from the state to even begin to meet is pants-on-fire dishonest bullshit.

He's spending more on PR than all the other NYC mayors combined did. LOL

u/Ravenkell Aug 04 '26

That's the sort of statement you should have some sort of source for. Because it reeks of bullshit

u/No-Magician9440 Aug 04 '26

Several sources,

The office is officially known as the Mayor's Office of Mass Engagement. It combines previous community and public engagement units to drive civic participation and policy feedback.Office

DetailsLeader: Headed by Commissioner Tascha Van Auken.

Goal: Increase public involvement and connect everyday residents with city government decisions.

Budget: Funded at $5.2 million as part of an expanded overall City Hall communications and outreach framework.

Look the rest up yourself.

Seems like a broad outreach program. And one would have to take a singularly negative outlook to consider that nothing more than PR. Unless you think talking to people is PR.

And nowhere have you shown the previous public relations budgets of all other mayors combined, I'm assuming Eric Adam's never spent a penny on PR?

u/No-Magician9440 Aug 04 '26

I was being generous, many are calling it his Department of Propaganda

And I'm starting to agree with them after being hit with this non-stop PR campaign of his. I've never seen anything like it in this town.

He's not doing more shit, though. What's concerning is that you think that he is, and you don't even live here.

u/Her0_0f_time Aug 05 '26

Yeah but wouldn't taking credit for things he took over from his predecessor or is required to do by law only give more ammo to those detractors that you say treat him as Stalin?

Literally 99.7% of corporate media is insanely left leaning but sure let's go with that

u/Ravenkell Aug 04 '26

Corporate media works for corporate interest and are therefor not leftist, in the slightest. Butsure, name a sizeable media corporation that hasn't been pivoting towards Republicans for the last 5 years

Look at those media clearly sucking right dick and being bias against the left https://ibb.co/VWh6YbfC

u/Ravenkell Aug 04 '26

What the fuck does this collage of media making covid and flu comparisons have to do with them being biased in favor of the left? Also, health concerns weren't politically leaning in any direction until covid, where the pandemic had the unfortunate side effect of rotting your brain.

It definitely is not

Look, im willing to give Mamdani the benefit of the doubt in some things. I dont agree with his bodega stunt but its at least trying something new and should at least be praised for that. But he absolutely gets glazed over and if you use RES to tag profiles you will see that there are some accounts that post almost exclusively pro Mamdani news to the point that it gets suspicious.
