On Tuesday—well after the facts of the incident had been documented—Phillip went on-air and falsely claimed that the failed bomb attack had targeted New York City's Socialist mayor, Zohran Mamdani.

Her outlandishly false claim prompted harsh condemnation and correction, especially on social media. In response, Phillip posted a correction on social media, drawing even more criticism for being nuanced, half-hearted and, especially, for not being on her television program (where she made the false claim).

As NewsBusters Jorge Bonilla reported:

"One common theme in these reactions is the call for an on-air correction to match the one issued on social media, in the interest of proportionality and fairness. There are those who will question whether the correction is authentic, or a pre-Paramount act of pre-emptive hygiene. Nonetheless, we welcome the correction and call on Phillip to follow up with one on the air."

By Wednesday evening, the backlash had become so severe that Phillip acquiesced to calls for an on-air correction on her television program – a rarity for today's biased, agenda-driven legacy media. In it, Phillip set the record straight and took "full responsibility" for her false claim:

"This morning I issued a correction, first thing in the morning, on X for mistakes that I made in last night's show, but I also wanted to do so on-air as well. I incorrectly said that the bombs that were thrown by ISIS-inspired suspects in New York over the weekend were directed at Mayor Mamdani. They were not.

"I failed to catch and correct that mistake in real time, and I take full responsibility for that. And while we do make mistakes, it is important to acknowledge and correct those errors when they happen." Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here

CNN has been forced to issue multiple corrections on the attack since Monday for repeatedly misrepresenting the terrorist act on social media, television and its website.
