Are they scared of "Free Parking" signs like Eve Fartlow?
Are they scared of "Free Parking" signs like Eve Fartlow?
Hey when your mom squirted you out into the straw in her pen did she know you’d grow up to be a disgusting fucking loser even by the standards of a farm animal
Did you think this was a story? Did you actually spend effort on a buzzfeed level facebook comment showcase? I mean, if that’s all you’re capable of I understand, CNN doesn’t hire real journalists
so what? They aren't going to so who cares
This doesn't even warrant a funny reply. It's fucking awful. Tabloid level, big money bullshit. CNN sucks hard.
they’re not going anywhere you stupid twerps
You guys are showing your whole ass, with this bullshit. No wonder your reputation is so bad. This is not even close to journalism.
Facts.
irony ✊
So? Let them leave.
lol. lmao.
AS IF/IF ONLY
…then they never actually leave because at the end of the day they want to live in NYC.
BYEEEEEEEE
Good. Fewer leeches on society.
Oh please they will not. Why are you covering a temper tantrum?
The biggest, fattest, laziest babies going—am I right?! Tantrum is right!
Wouldn’t it be great if they did though? I’d love to pick up some luxury real estate in NYC for dirt cheap!
Do it.
And an aggressive como Champaign has emerged🙄
"Breaking News: People Say Stuff Online."
I'm news worthy? :D Haha, I knew I had an audience. Thanks, Jeff. (Got a good laugh)
Happy to help.
@cnn.com hate’s people of color. @oliverdarcy.bsky.social @chrislhayes.bsky.social @chriscillizza.bsky.social
"Anonymously" discusses "potential" plans to mnove out of the city. Hmm, that's some real solid reporting of Republican bullshit. Corporate media are out of touch with reality as their pathetic propaganda is not resonating with reality and spreading cultural fear.
LMFAO those ppl say they’ll move if they see their shadow, but they’re probably fine w ICE kidnappers. Zero newsworthy. CNN shills for the $ interests, as always. The majority of NYers will cheer them as they leave.
Private anonymous Facebook comments, wow, way to stretch your journalistic muscle making it a whole story. Bet it was worth it.
If you don't want your story in the "opinion" page you have to frame it like you're reporting on something
AFAIK, you can’t post on Facebook “anonymously,” so CNN is just shielding their identities.
You definitely can. Without an identity verification process those accounts could belong to literally anyone. Political disinformation bots very much exist
That’s completely different though. These posts apparently aren’t even attributed to any account.
Lots of groups do allow anonymous posts, but yeah.
But isn’t that only in private groups? Like I belong to a private widowers group & we allow this but the group is private as we’re confirmed to make sure we’re really who we say we are as far as widowed status
What a great new fascist feature!
internet anonymity is rather the opposite of what a fascist would want
Tell that to all the ICE agents in masks.
do you not think it would be an ice agent's wet dream to reliably be able to identify and locate and kidnap immigrants based on internet activity? their anonymity is bad because they kidnap people. this has nothing to do with internet anonymity, a wholly beneficial thing for citizens
i think it cuts both ways. it is a good thing for vulnerable people but is also abused by fascists
Oh but the pile-ons become epic!
For someone who left FB around the time they started cracking down on fake names, it’s very weird that this even became a feature.
Yes, you can post anonymously now, probably because people wanted to shield their identities from scrutiny, especially within specific groups.
I can't imagine anything that could be worse for the discourse.
It doesn't allow you to post comments anonymously. It only allows you to start a comment thread as an anon.
The moderators of the groups can see who’s posting. I’ve mostly seen it used in my mom groups for questions about escaping domestic violence, but I guess rich weirdos also use it to talk about how the sky is falling. I rarely see it in normal groups unless a sensitive topic comes up.
In a group that I'm in on Facebook, people use it for the most innocuous reasons. There's one post that talks about two different restaurants and another post about a Miami Herald article about the concentration camp in Florida.
Then why don’t you use your face for an avatar and name and address in bio?
Because he doesn't have to. I'm not sure exactly where this is coming from and what the point of this post is but I'm also on medication.
If I was being used as a source for a CNN article it would be just as illegitimate. But also my point is you have to be breaking the rules on Facebook to be anonymous
Moderators know who is posting. One of my groups uses it for women asking for help in abusive relationships.
Trans groups use it a lot for similar reasons
🤔
Facebook groups. LOL. Come on man.
Delete your account and your company
I mean, I don't want to give out any spoilers here, but you'd think you all would have seen a little movie made by your corporate parent... a little movie called Superman? And what it had to say about "random" social media posts?
Like how all of those deluded vacuous people were going to leave if Obama or Biden was elected? Fuckers are still here last I checked.
How is this news?
Private interest groups cam say whatever they damn well please, wouldn't call it news
Many are multiple homeowners already and claim some other place as their primary residence for tax purposes, so first they will need to "move back" if they want to "move out".
They can move out to Hell for all I care. The rich who STAY and get with the program will have to pay higher taxes, but they and their children will get to enjoy a safer, stronger, revitalized city as a result.
mAnY pEoPLE aRe sAYiNg
Things that are not happening. @cnn is so up for this.
Are you going to pretend it's Jews?
Posting Facebook whining as news lol. This is so pathetic for you CNN.
This is par for the course for CNN. You have to remember, there’s a fascist party and a right leaning party in this country. Any time a left leaning politician gains power Capital will act in solidarity.
massive babies
I have a feeling they would not be missed.
Good riddance. Not their city, it’s everybody’s.
That you actually put this in writing is all the evidence needed. Fuck off upper east side & CNN. buh-bye 👋
Oooooohhh noooooes!! Not the ✨luxury ✨ real estate market 😱 Won’t SOMEONE think of the poor multi-millionaires??? 😞
They are likely all bots and CNN is ridiculous. You need to be talking about the coverup of the Epstein files.
Gotta spread those GOP talking points 🙄
Huge win for NY if this pathetic excuse for 'journalism' was even worth the time it took to post it
It must be true if it was in Facebook. F*cking CNN are lazy and unprofessional. Shit
This is really pathetic. You should be ashamed for running this
Bet they won’t though
Make sure to get that shit in writing and they honor that contract, because talk is cheap, crackers
Cracker talk, specifically, is cheap.
😆
Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.
Um f----ing real Who is CN. . . ? Again?
I've heard that once Anthony has saved enough pennies that he's moving out.
"Potential plans" = "Idle complaints"
Let them move. Maybe housing prices will adjust downward.
And???
If I had published this trash I’d probably wouldn’t feel comfortable seeing my family on holidays anymore.
Lmao you know other people can see this right
For fuck sakes. No they won’t
You have to be kidding with a source like "Various private New York Facebook groups..." There is nothing in this story except CNN trying to undermine Mamdani's campaign. What is wrong with you people? WHAT RICH PEOPEL ARE MOVING? The answer is less than 1.
good because now they only drive up the rents if they dont want to live in the city for the city and only were there for their special treatment because they were daddy special little boy and they still are at like 60 or 70 whatever
Absolutely no one wants more available real estate in the upper east side would be terrible
Getting rid of rich UES douchebags AND making more housing stock available? ZM is already making NYC great.
Oh no, someone might move out of New York! That’s it, the city’s doomed!
Glad I blocked CNN on my regular news apps. They have fallen so far from being a credible news organization. This is fear mongering from the rich, let’s talk about real issues like Medicaid cuts, working class affordable housing, and real infrastructure projects
In their defence. It's great comedy.
You are a fucking disgrace.
You went trolling social media to find people critical of a politician? Outstanding. Pulitzers for everyone involved. Maybe in another article you can instead troll for why he's so popular? Just spitballing here.
Wait, rich people fleeing taxes!? NO WAY!!!! Fuck those selfish pricks.
Who the fuck cares?
He hasn't been elected yet and he's already making NYC a better place!
oh no not the racists
Good! They should have a stake in this
They should be careful, lest they get ahead of themselves.
Stunning endorsement of Zohran
Yeah... good? Leave and let the populace who built the city, who are the lifeblood of the neighbourhood, live in it more easily. The guy hasn't been elected yet, and his policies already seem to be working. Amazing!
Bullshit. They won’t even leave Manhattan for Queens, let alone the entire city for what, Tulsa? Pittsburgh? Spoiled cry babies.
so what?
Oh, ok der bud. We almost give a shit.
CNN fighting tooth and nail against the legitimate news outlet allegations
Good, if you’re greedy and don’t want to pay your fair share leave society, you’re a parasite.
Thank You! I’m sick to death of rich people who believe they are the only humans deserving of a good and dignified life. Everybody else: back to work or into the cemeteries.
pish
Completely Not News
Some people is doing a lot of work in a city of 8.5 million people. I wonder if CNN has checked to see if "some people" are having trouble with price gouging landlords or access to childcare or paying tuition?
That’s one way to solving the housing crisis 🤦🏻♀️ WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?
Bat Boy Found In Cave level reporting
Anonymous whining on a bot platform... Cool, thanks CNN
Fist off, I don't believe this at all. It's so vague and barely makes sense. Second, saying your going to leave is one thing. Actually doing it is another thing entirely. Where do these people claim their going? Are they going to drown along with the suckers in a red state? I highly doubt it.
Wealthy New Yorkers leaving the city for Birmingham, AL… Or even Houston, TX or Miami, FL. Not going to happen.
Just like the mass migration to canada when trump was elected. Dont be such credulous dunces.
Very good, Goodbye Fascist-Trash
i in turn wish my city would vote for a mayor that would force Facebook users to move away
This is what you're spending your time covering? Are you fucking kidding me? Are you not embarrassed??
Was there nothing else to report today… other than random anonymous FB posters? Really?
cool I hope that makes it more affordable for the rest of us. bye!
Bye, bitches.
BREAKING NEWS: Anonymous hordes of imaginary people threaten to leave city if the guy all the rich people hate is elected Mayor.
so their apartments will be available?
Block @cnn.com - unreliable and useless
This is pure garbage. You’re no longer a legitimate news organization. Just shut it down and become the next TMZ. It’s really all you’re capable of at this point.
Already cleaning up the “anonymous “ uber rich and he is not even mayor yet
This is f-ing news?!? I would bet you that this is a true statement for EVERY candidate in almost every election. The only thing this article does is put another nail in the coffin for CNN. You used to be the Cable NEWS Network. Now I don’t even know what to call you- trash?
Millionaire Migration and Taxation of the Elite: Evidence from Administrative Data (Young and Varner, 2016):
It would’ve been easier to say that you went to bigoted Facebook groups to find out what the bigots are doing
Maybe the rents will go down then
CNN is such a pile of dogshít pathetic
Finally, good news.
itep.org/no-need-for-...
And by more they mean a decent amount more.
📌
How many times do we have to say "bye-bye" to these people???!!! Go on! Get outta here!!!!
Thanks for posting this article.
If true, don't let the door hit them on the way out.
Great, don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya (and made you incredibly racist and classic)
*classist
Classic Classists.
CNN’s all about that classical classism
Not a single one of them will ever move. And the journalist should know that too. This is the same as the MAGA bigots who say they will move out of their McMansion b/c they saw a black person walking down the street once.
People leave NYC for so many reasons that are more widely important and less speculative than this. Consider doing your jobs better or finding something else to do with your time!
You do realize Facebook is full of bots right?
This is like when CNN or Fox would find like one tweet where someone was bitching about something and they’d report on it like “millions of people are saying…” The media in this country is a joke.
They wouldn't usually say that millions are saying it, they would just be like "people are saying this". In the case of Fox sometimes they would be the people saying it too, like earlier in the day one of their entertainment shows would say something and they would parrot it back to you that night.
lol. Amazing what people will do to advert paying tax
Cool, more units on the market.
Oh no don’t *checks notes* increase housing supply while getting rid of the worst New Yorkers in one fell swoop!
This is tabloid level shit reporting, you all should be embarrassed lol
The oligarchs that own CNN are getting value for their money every time that CNN attacks anyone to the left of Pinochet.
Done with an agenda.
“Guess what we saw on Facebook”
They would have to be capable of shame.
Bingo.
Oh no, and there's just so little demand for New York real estate I can see this being a huge issue, he wrote as sarcastically as fucking possible.
This the best you can do?
Well I'll be moving TO New York, so they will be replaced by cooler people 😂
Facebook posts viewed by CNN. Now that's a quality source for a news article. 🙄🙄🙄
Jesus, its a mayoral race.
This just in: Across various public Facebook posts viewed by everybody, users have expressed the opinion that CNN is an unwatchable embarrassment to journalism.
🏆
Wow CNN so eager to start attacking this guy they went through the strictest vetting practices of their sources: which were "various private New York Facebook groups". :|
imagine if they cared this much about Zohran's opposition. they could write a story like this every hour. and then actually write something that matters on top of that! but they have to scrape the bottom of the barrel with this shit to write anything negative about Zohran.
I don't think unsubstantiated plans by anonymous users on a platform famous for both infiltrations is newsworthy. Y'all should go back to journalism school.
Well fine. They're the people who bid up housing to start with. Besides, talk is cheap. We'll see what happens when they try to sell in a market with 7%+ mortgages. fwiw, in the early 1960s, Rob and Laura Petri lived in New Rochelle, and Rob commuted. Go bid up The 'Burbs and Connecticut.
I heard someone say anonymously that your network is like a ringwraith
Private Facebook groups viewed by CNN? Will you do the comment section of truth social next?
who's going miss them?
Please, I already support him, you don't need to keep hyping him up like this
These are the people who make the city worse anyway
This is the equivalent of me saying I would move out of the US if Trump got elected. Maybe a real desire based on policy differences, but almost never actuated. You didn’t write stories about the millions who felt like me v Trump though…
This is some truly terrible journalism. You suck CNN
We should help them pack, don't you think⁉️ 📦🚛🛋👍🏻🤭🧹 They aren't the right fit for NYC anyways⁉️🗽👍🏻 #nomorefossils in politics anymore Let the NEXT GENERATION of leaders take the GAVEL⁉️ After all it's their future isn't it ⁉️🤷♀️🤔👍🏻😉 🌊💙⚖🙂🤭😃 #dobetter #voteblue #NOKINGS EVER ⁉️🤨
Thanks for reminding us that you decided to flush any hint of journalistic integrity down the toilet. Sometimes people forget, given that your name has that vestigial word “news” in it
vestigial 'news' 🤌🏼
So now you’re trolling Facebook groups for the most trolly comments?
The real journalism right there.
They are trying so had not to say what they want to say: “Israel doesn’t like Mamdani”.
Wow you guys really have nothing huh
Here's a thought. If it's luxury, put a fucking luxury tax on it and hurry them up. Convert them to homes for those who actually need homes
This is a joke right? " Luxury real estate market" Give us a fucking break from these rich white men.
Manufacturing that consent
Another reason to vote for Mamdani
Bye 👋
"Across various private New York Facebook groups" Jesus just listen to yourselves
What kind of story is this?! Absolute crap, CNN. I’d say stop before you embarrass yourselves but you’re looking at that point in the rear view mirror.
Your journalism is gross. And upper income never leave. It would be nice if they did and it somehow triggered more affordable housing. Oh you loose the tax base? They already hide that. Publish this some day.
CNN is a fucking clown show. "We read some random posts on Facebook which no real person actually uses anymore."
It fits their narrative…
Well if they said it anonymously on Facebook it must be true
Well, this would be one part of Mamdani’s plan to bring down housing costs.
Stop threatening us with a good time. Would be better off without them. But we all know that it's lies and bluster. They're going nowhere. Nobody's fooled. But we get it, CNN...you gotta toss that oligarchy salad at every opportunity...
Key word, ANONYMOUSLY. Do better. Please.
Always threats without action. These people are going nowhere! They like the NYC lifestyle too much but if they're serious, I hear Iowa has great quality of life! 😂
I'm suspicious. Every time the rich are threatened with a tax hike, up goes the racket about how they're all going to leave. It's a universal tactic. Then taxes rise, and they don't leave. When you go back to the evidence that made you think it was going to happen in the first place, it turns...
... out to be a few loudmouths - often the same ones who did it previously and didn't leave then, haven't left now - and a ton of 'anonymous sources'. We're starting to call this nonsense out in the UK. Hopefully some in the USA with a mainstream voice will do similar research for themselves.
If every country taxed the rich more they would have no advantage to move anywhere.
... and that may, in the end, be the problem... not so much for sulky individuals saying 'If you don't play by my rules I'm going home and taking my ball' because we know they won't. But for multinational corporations, absolutely.
Y’all talk a lot of shit considering your name is literally the Cum News Network.
*jacking off motion*
Why can’t we focus on who Mamdani’s campaign actually focuses on…. The working class
Because the American media only cares about the 1%
Dude lowering rents and cleaning up tax dodgers before he's even in office. Now that's dedication
That’s a level of efficiency we can admire and respect. 🫡
I will gladly take over their leases
Are these the same people who were moving because of congestion pricing?
Lol, sure.
Lots of CNN "journalists" live on the UES ? ok well enjoy your Hamptons mansions I guess.
So leave. Bye.
The mark of a true New Yorker 🤝
The mentality of people who believe they have the power and entitlement to stop progress by throwing a hissy fit about moving out of town is really disturbing. The main New Yorkers to miss them are bribe recipients. Pretty much everybody else will offer to help them pack up. Prices can adjust down.
Who is the editor at CNN demanding reporters waste our collective time reporting on the computer-generated noise slopping between "anonymous users on private facebook groups"?
Good, get out.
Tabloid propaganda CNN. What a rag of a “news” organization.
Mamdani isn't even mayor yet and he's already making the city better 😍
Get fucked
I also threaten to do things i'll never follow through on when I am mad.
Is this parody?
Totally made up fake news! Just stop!!!!
More apartments for the rest of us!
awwww....poor wealthy people?!? 🤷🏽♀️ NYC is primarily made of working class folk who are struggling & leaving in droves themselves. They pay taxes & are most likely to spend all of their money in NYC as opposed to at their summer homes, vacations, outside the country. They outnumber the wealthy.
Lmfao. Okay.
lol - "some users have anonymously discussed"
Your source is an online chat group? May this article become a classroom example of how to be a really bad "news" reporter.
NEWSLINE 2025: ANONYMOUS ONLINE AVATAR CLAIMING TO BE RICH MANHATTAN RESIDENT CLAIMS THEY ARE THINKING ABOUT POSSIBLY MOVING ONE DAY Imagine being the editor of a legacy newspaper with a team of reporters at hand, and your headline is “r/Erotica writer claims newspaper editors have biggest cocks”
Christ on a cracker Now “people are saying” are think pieces from major media outlets
Isn’t that a Jeopardy category?
Yep, “Christ on a Cracker” often has the Daily Double
Okay 👍 bye 👋🏼
You’re a disgrace to journalism. You don’t think we see you? Look at your ratings, assholes.
Ta
I love how the media is winning this race for him. Keep it up!
Hey, have you check in on that concentration camp in Florida?
I don't know. Are comfortable well-to-do suburbanites posting about it on Facebook? 'Cause if not, I don't want to hear about it.
Valid point.
Well,.. if they put it facebook, case closed
That sound you hear is the sound of Fiorello La Guardia laughing in Woodlawn Cemetery.
“Some users” of one of the wealthiest zip codes in America issue empty, petulant threats to decamp to their country houses in another of the wealthiest zip codes in America to evade a potential modest increase in their taxes. <- Fixed it for you.
I have an idea. Let’s have every state raise taxes so everyone can keep their existing high wealth class of people! Win, win!
I have an even better idea, let's have every state raise taxes so everyone can get rid of their high wealth class of people!!
I thought this was parody. How embarrassing for your bottom-feeding organization.
Y’all should have shame using “sources” that wouldn’t even get you a passing grade on a 6th grade research paper.
Sooooo....good riddance?
Good.
