The New York Times is facing backlash over how it marks the 25th anniversary of 9/11, with critics blasting two stories focused on Islamophobia and the treatment of Muslim Americans in the years following the terror attacks. One report says the attacks "unleashed a wave of hate" and traces Muslim political organizing in New York through the election of Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Critics argue the framing puts the focus in the wrong place on a day honoring the 2,977 people killed. The New York Times rejects the criticism, accusing its detractors of trying to "stoke outrage" by misrepresenting its journalism.
