This piece raises some huge questions! For one: what are the editorial standards that would allow you to print a whole story about cops quitting the NYPD without a single named officer quoted on record, and will those standards now be adopted at CBS News?
“It’s shaken me to my core,” a lieutenant said of Mamdani’s unexpected victory in June. “The absolute dread I feel is palpable.” Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November: https://t.co/O6SCWXmecc

Maybe it’s true! Maybe not (this is where knowing something of history becomes useful). That’s just not the standard for publication most of us are held to.

By my count I see one unnamed source (and a reference to other officers). They didn’t even get the head of the PBA to say that other people would quit!

@alex_sammon Nah. The "standards" you're held to are "make shit up to push the narrative," "deny any facts that upset the narrative we've built," "do or say anything you can to make Leftists look good & anyone who disagrees look bad"

@alex_sammon Fact check: FALSE the NYT and other MSM outlets routinely rely on anonymous sources. In fact, one study found at least 1/3 of sources are anonymous. Take your gaslighting to journ0lism
