Time Magazine Publishes Obama-esque Puffball Piece on Radical Socialist Zohran Mamdani

Newsbusters ^ | 8/14/25 | Curtis Houck

On Thursday morning, Time magazine released its latest cover dated September 8 with the lead story “The Meaning of Zohran Mamdani.” Predictably, the story by Mark Chiusano was as mind-numbingly stupid and weak-kneed as a profile of Barack Obama in the mid-2000s.

Chiusano called him “very eloquent,” “fun,” and “more gifted than almost any of his peers,” and facing “adulation” plus “notoriety” in the face of “xenophobic death threats.”

The fluff came out as thick as mud with Chiusano fawning right off the bat that “[i]t’s not easy to move around New York City as Zohran Mamdani anymore” and taking a walk downtown draws “star-treatment, in multiple languages and from all generations” despite “some heckling.

I guess the Time writer gets a thrill up his leg about Mamdani, like Chris Matthews got a thrill about Obama.

[cymbeline]

I’m not keeping up with the Mamdani phenomenon. Why does he appeal to enough NYC voters that he might win? What does he want to do to NYC?

[Wuli]

The did the same for Clinton and Obama.

[virgil]

Sounds like they have dreams of crowning him president. He’s stupid, divisive, inexperienced empty shirt like Obama. The LIVs will vote for this disaster. Just what they like.

[Night Hides Not]

I recognize "Billy Mays" Mamdani for what he is: a leading purveyor of taqqiya. He effortlessly changes his tune, depending on who he's talking to.

Don't give him a copy of Atlas Shrugged, he'd fall in love with Directive 10-289.

It's ironic that Mamdani and his leftist ilk are constantly referring to President Trump as a dictator.  Yet, the only way Zohran's proposals - tax increases, rent freezes, fare-free public transportation, etc. - would see the light of day would be if Mamdami governed like .. a dictator.

The NYC City Council is far left, but I don't think they're that far left to enact some of these things legislatively.

[Phoenix8]

And I think Mamdami is dangerous.

if you look at the big democide leaders of the 20th century they were much like him.
Most were wimps; Hitler’s arms were so skinny (think David Hogg arms) he always wore long sleeved shirts. Find one photo of him in short sleeves , I dare you.
Lenin was a flyweight soaking wet and shorter than most women.
Stalin , also a runt like Lenin until he got fat, was a braggart who often spoke of fighting but not one single source can prove he ever did.
Mao— same, not a single source exists that he ever once engaged in combat or a fight

No all the mass murdering socialists were organizers, effective speakers, charismatic, physical cowards. They are soulless, maniacal, sociopaths that can manipulate.

They are the ones to fear.

Well, the good news is he can never run for president.

As much as we debate natural born citizenship here on Free Republic, there’s no ambiguity in the case of this guy, since he was foreign born.

[antidemoncrat]

I wonder who is financially supporting the Lame Street Media including Time, CNN, MSNBC and others as I cannot believe people still buy their published garbage and watch their garbage on TV.

[zoomie92]

Why do none of these communist pieces of shit politicians ever have jobs?!? I mean this guy has never ever had a real job and he is running for mayor of NYC? Reminds me of Barry the homosexual Muslim communist from Indonesia...

[cgbg]

This reminds me of another old Time cover story:

[Racketeer]

Do New Yorkers really want another Obama? If so, let them get what they wish for.

[cymbeline]

“The NYC City Council is far left, but I don’t think they’re that far left”

If he’s the likely winner, does that mean voters will disagree with their City Council?

[ridesthemiles]

HE WANTS TO DESTROY NYC.....

[Kudsman]

Radical Socialist huh? Is that anything like a Communist? Curious, the media is still a little gun shy of using the C word.
