It's good to see that the moderators of r/NYC have finally reversed the blanket ban of the New York Post, a newspaper founded by Alexander Hamilton that for 200+ years has offered a different perspective than almost all other mainstream newspapers in NYC. Yet it is still shameful that it provides this bot warning for the NY Post and not for other newspapers, all of which have had to offer frequent mea culpas for their biased reporting. Is there really any reason whatsoever to suspect that the NY Post's report on the assault of this protester is incorrect?

The post was never blanket banned.

I stand corrected; it is r/newyork that blanked banned it. Still, this "warning label" should not be selectively applied to the New York Post.
