The Times apologises for false quotes from former NYC mayor
The Guardian
|October 30, 2025
The Times has apologised and deleted an article after discovering its reporter had been fooled by someone pretending to be Bill de Blasio, the former mayor of New York City.
The British newspaper removed the article from its website after the real De Blasio released a statement calling the quotes attributed to him "entirely false and fabricated" and lambasted the Times for its "absolute violation of journalistic ethics".
A man purporting to be De Blasio gave a senior reporter, Bevan Hurley, a series of quotes criticising Zohran Mamdani, the frontrunner in the current mayoral race, ahead of the vote next Tuesday.
