The most frustrating part of Bill de Blasio’s mea culpa about the “botched” plow job on the Upper East Side after the snowstorm was that by apologizing, the mayor was privileging the wealthy UES over the city’s other snowbound neighborhoods. He played right into the New York Post’s weather class warfare non-narrative, despite the fact […]
Everyone knows the New York Post is not a paper that defines itself by its accuracy. It’s a tabloid prone to frequent misreporting and so it’s not surprising that their gossip section is also inept at getting things right. But even by Page Six’s lowly standards, the item on Bill De Blasio published earlier this […]
Along with the New York Post’s snazzy new website redesign comes a prominent link to the rag’s merchandise store, which features a few shirts and other things that are a lot smarter on the whole than the Post deserves. Among them is this t-shirt featuring the Post‘s cover from Obama’s election day in 2008, which got us thinking: […]
According to New York City’s hometown papers–both the serious one and the two tabloids–the only way forward is to maintain the status quo: elect Christine Quinn on the Democratic side and some guy you never heard of on the Republican side.

The paper notes how one hot dog vendor with a great location near Macy’s, makes about $250 a day on average or $400 when business […]
The New York Post–a shameless tabloid that’s known to get its “facts” wrong a lot–published an “exclusive” story in Sunday’s paper that is erroneous from the outset: Food stamps are paying for trans-Atlantic takeout — with New Yorkers using taxpayer-funded benefits to ship food to relatives in Jamaica, Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Wait, what? […]
Salaheddin Barhoum and Yassine Zaimi, the two young men who were identified as “Bag Men” on the cover of the New York Post during the investigation of the Boston Marathon, have sued that paper for defamation. The lawsuit, filed Wednesday, argues that the Post cover and accompanying article imply Barhoum and Zaimi were lead suspects. No word on […]
In case you missed it, in the immediate aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombing, the New York Post published a front page photo of two innocent young men, insinuating that they were chief suspects in the federal investigation. Perhaps not shockingly, the two men were Arab. After the paper issued a half-assed update (not a […]
