Lol at people downvoting you without explaining. It's been considered a gossip rag for decades, on par with the tabloids of old (idk if they're even still a thing, don't see them in grocery stores near me anymore)

That's probably fair, I wasn't 100% sure that was semantically correct since they're traditionally published in slightly different print formats from what I can tell

They’re kind of garbage news, lots of opinions, lots of sensationalism, or other non-news like this, low quality writing, low quality topics. It’s like grabbing a random stranger and asking them to paraphrase what they remember about headlines 4 weeks ago. The bar for terrible journalism has definitely been lowered in the age of qanon and oan and infowars, and New York post isn’t really in that crowd, but they’re your more classic bad news outlet and have held that position for decades

It's a rupert murdoch rag.. he bought a bunch of em during the election.. all with names similar to existing trusted news sites..
Like.. we already had New York Times, and Washington Post, so Rupert Murdoch (owner of fox news) buys/creates New York Post. so people will associate it with the old media and get tricked into the right wing fascist funnel.
It's disgusting.

In fairness, the NY Post is older than The New York Times and Washington Post. It was founded by Alexander Hamilton as the NY Evening Post and then became the NY Post in 1934. Murdoch purchased it in 1976. He was forced to sell it in 1988 due to federal regulations, but was allowed to repurchase it in 1993.

>It's disgusting.

I couldn't agree more.
