At least the NYP has the balls to come out and admit what happened. Unlike the other fake news outlets they spew hate 24/7 with nary an apology.

Looks like the work of a leftist projecting what he/she/it thinks conservatives would support. An Antifa mole. Why not name and shame the person.

Was this a kamikaze inside suicide attack by some leftist employee who was trying to discredit the New York Post and get them kicked off of social media in the last week before the mid-term election?

But the fake Tweets aren't even creative, witty, clever, or funny. They're just stupid.

The Post is actual news, but it does lean right. Also, great sports and gossip sections.

Format, yes.

"Tabloid" means a newspaper that opens up like a magazine. Think of those old Rolling Stone magazines. That was "tabloid" format.

The New York Times is what's known as a "broadsheet" in that you have to unfold it to read it.

Companies should have NO right to punish employees for what they do on their own time provided they are not representing the company at the time.
