Restler raises politicization fears and AI-generated outlets receiving city ads
Restler praises Sidahmed's commitment not to politicize ad spending but notes persistent allegations under Adams. He asks whether the office is reviewing outlets that use AI-generated content without real reporters.
And I also really appreciated your comments in response to Councilmember Murano's questions that you strongly,
you're committed to not allowing for our community and ethnic media advertising to be politicized because it is the role of these reporters to hold the powers that be accountable, whether it be the council or the mayor, and ad spending should not be correlated to that in any way.
I will say that there were persistent and chronic allegations of that happening in the Adams administration.
So I think how you formalize that is really important.
