The Post always finds itself in the middle of political scandals. Maybe they should be investigated for their journalistic practices.

Why don't you look at who he partied with after winning? It was openly reported.

spfhockeyfan.bsky.social•153 days ago

It’s a club…etc etc

theramblyintrovert.bsky.social•152 days ago

It’s like a political game of Twister! The connections are so tangled, it’s hard to keep track of who’s really calling the shots.

Noah, this is a *fantastic* piece — very rare to get this kind of rich detail on how newsrooms work and don’t work. Many thanks.

noahshachtman.bsky.social•153 days ago

Thanks!!!!!

For years we’ve been lied to about the media being biased for liberals…

I knew there had to be right-wing bullshit behind all this

ambivalentricky.bsky.social•153 days ago

Any chance we could get a non-paywalled link?

nancyannn.bsky.social•152 days ago

Ah, now it finally makes sense.

newecclesiastes.bsky.social•153 days ago

How is is that all of the "supposed" evil right-wingers are in cahoots with the Dems? You have Murdoch here, and Harris has the Cheneys, the Neocons, The MIC, and the Intelligence agencies. Something is really not right... I don't want these clowns on my side.

I thought this was pretty clear at the time.

Never ever.
It’ll have to pried from him.

headlessdogman.bsky.social•153 days ago

Now that you mention it, what the hell is the deal with politicians getting busted but resusing to admit the gig is up. Off the top of my head recently menedez, santos and Robinson

Innocent until proven guilty!
If you’re shameless, then even guilt doesn’t matter!
There was a federal judge who was convicted and kept getting paid (but was removed from the bench)

It's done more subtly in the U.K.

secret?

I remember the election as if it were yesterday. There were far better options than this establishment's corrupt piece of shit. Yet somehow he won. It did not match up with the polling. Heck, even Andrew Yang would have been a better choice.

arlentsao.bsky.social•153 days ago

Is the law getting better or are there simply more corrupt officials today? We got Eric Adams, Bob Menendez and then Donald Trump. Corrupt to the core... all three of them.

theblackheathen.bsky.social•152 days ago

He's a scumbag

bungdan.bsky.social•153 days ago

This piece of theirs from August 20 amused. https://nypost.com/2024/08/20/us-news/eric-adams-snubbed-by-dnc-goes-without-speaking-spot-this-is-a-slap-in-the-face/

balme.bsky.social•153 days ago

I am happy he was so mad tbh.
I’m not happy until he’s unhappy.

eastsidegadfly.bsky.social•153 days ago

I was a public school advocate during the BdB years and the NYP coverage of his Chancellor vs Banks is *astonishing*. Carranza couldn’t breathe without a hit piece. And he was actually probably the best Chancellor (in terms of prioritizing underserved families) since mayoral control.

🛑FOX Murdoch & Adams

creedencetapes.bsky.social•153 days ago

Anyone have a gift link for this?

dirkbender.bsky.social•152 days ago

For the last four decades, if it's shitty and happening in NYC, it's a safe bet the NY Post is involved.

tonysomo.bsky.social•153 days ago

JFC!

mjr1.bsky.social•153 days ago

What til you see their slavering for Cuomo.

noahshachtman.bsky.social•153 days ago

That would be wild, if so. They devoted cover after cover after cover to his downfall

mjr1.bsky.social•153 days ago

Just wait. They'll see the opportunity for the most RW mayor since Giuliani. The fact that he's abusive & liberal Dem women hate him will make them cry with glee.

Time to deport the Oligarch immigrants destroying the country that made them rich. 😏

td12212.bsky.social•152 days ago

Don't forget Sacks and Palhiyapitiya. One from South Africa the other from Canada/Sri Lanka ..

mementomori4950.bsky.social•152 days ago

True 👍

izanamic.bsky.social•152 days ago

Rupert Murdock needs to be deported. It should be illegal to print outright lies that support criminal behavior. Elon Musk should be deported for the same reason. Truly.
