    The New York Post (NY Post), founded as the New York Evening Post (originally New-York Evening Post), is an American conservative[3] daily tabloid newspaper published in New York City. Th

    The Post has been criticized since the beginning of Murdoch’s ownership for sensationalism, blatant advocacy, and conservative bias. In 1980, the Columbia Journalism Review stated that the “New York Post is no longer merely a journalistic problem. It is a social problem—a force for evil.”[9] The Post has been accused of contorting its news coverage to suit Murdoch’s business needs, in particular avoiding subjects which could be unflattering to the government of the People’s Republic of China, where Murdoch has invested heavily in satellite television.[63]

    On October 14, 2020, three weeks before the 2020 United States presidential election, the Post published a front-page story purporting to reveal “smoking gun” emails recovered from a laptop abandoned by Hunter Biden at a computer repair store in Wilmington, Delaware.[105] The only sources named in the story were Trump personal attorney Rudy Giuliani and strategy advisor Steve Bannon.[105] The story came under heavy criticism from other news sources and anonymous reporters at the Post itself for “flimsy” reporting, including questions about the reliability of its sourcing and the lack of outreach to either Hunter Biden or the Joe Biden campaign for pre-publication comment.[106][107]

    Right wing tabloid, you fell for republican propaganda.
