At the end of the movie "Casablanca," after Rick hands Viktor the letters of transit for him and Ilse, Victor tells Rick, "Welcome back to the fight. This time I know our side will win." I thought of this 13-second moment in the movie upon noticing a New York Times story, November 19, on page 5 of the Business Section (media) with this headline: "New York Post Tears Down 'Florida Man' That It Had Supported."
(I hasten to add that I am not usually a Business Section reader; this is where the skimpier-by-the-day Sports Section happened to appear on November 19.)
The lead sentence of the story, by Katie Robertson, makes the headline perfectly clear: "Since Election Day last week, The New York Post [sic — should be the New York Post] front pages have been merciless to Former President Donald J. Trump." Ms. Robertson suggests that the Post became disenchanted with the former president because he did not accept defeat in 2020, also citing his (alleged) silence at the January 6 Capitol Hill disturbance.
Ms. Robertson also indicated that the former president may believe that the Post's hostility toward him may reflect the change in editor — Keith Poole replacing Col Allan as editor-in-chief. More likely, the editor-in-chief takes instruction from the publisher — which is to say that Rupert Murdoch (or the Murdoch son in charge of the Post) is convinced Mr. Trump will not be re-elected U.S. president.
And so the question becomes, how far will the New York Post go in its newly found hostility to Donald J. Trump? Will the paper apologize to its newly discovered progressive readers for having accused Hunter Biden specifically and President Biden generally of being corrupt?

I have not been following the changes at the NY Post, and was curious about the change in reporting from them, which has turned hostile.
Now I realize they had a change in management. That explains it.
Look at their endorsement of him in 2016. They said they disagreed with his stances on immigration. What was the point of endorsing him if you disagreed with him on that?
It is NYC, so who gives a shiite what they think?
rupert wants DeSantis
If there’s no longer loyalty in politics, now what?
Their hatred of Trump is not a frigging change.
Who owns the New York Post?
In 1976, Rupert Murdoch bought the Post for US$30.5 million. Since 1993, the Post has been owned by Murdoch’s News Corp. Its distribution ranked 4th in the US in 2019.

It seems pretty obvious the election is being used as an opportunity to take Trump out. The Post and Fox News are singing off the same sheet. Even Clay and Buck, Rubin and Shapiro are being seduced by their shortsightedness. This is where Rush’s gravitas and insight is truly missed. The appointment of a Special Prosecutor hardly showed up on Fox. They’re all hoping Trump will fade away if they starve his exposure. In the end, they march to the beat of Washington.
I noticed this.
I don’t think they’re pro-Bidens, just anti-Trump. Like a lot of dumb posters here.
All of that is a front for CCP shenanigans, not Russians.
The New York Post is a Republican establishment paper in a city that hates it. They’re irrelevant locally and nationally.
If they turn against Trump, it’s totally meaningless. No more of a threat than a chihuahua trying to attack its owner.
“The New York Post is a Republican establishment paper in a city that hates it.”
Exactly, give them no clicks no matter where you see them.
Trump has not helped himself by his recent unprovoked personal attacks on accomplished Republicans such as Ron DeSantis, Glenn Youngkin, and Brian Kemp. Not to mention his earlier nasty remarks about women (remember “horse face”?) and his calling Ted Cruz a habitual liar (remember “lying Ted”?).
Coco Chao, Young-kin.
His star is fading. Much like the “vaccines” he pushed under Operation Warped Greed.
There was a sibling-rivalry-type battle between the two sons of Rupert Murdoch, James and Lachlan. Lachlan won. And of course Rupert is also on that anti-Trump side.
Their report on page 26 the day after Trump’s announcement was so juvenile and hostile that the Times actually did a story on the Post report in their own news section. That’s how ridiculous and outlandish it was—it made the news.
Don’t ever pooh-pooh the concept of sibling rivalry.
The headline should have been Australian family split on merits of great United States president.
The Daily News actually did a much more intelligent treatment of the announcement. Their front-page headline was “Here We Go Again,” with a nice photo of Trump.
Of course they don’t like Trump either, but they handled it professionally.
I’ve stopped clicking on The Post. Others will also.
“How far will the New York Post go?” Yeah, I noticed, too. Oh well. As they say, Go woke, go broke. The NY Post can choose to become cool and hip or becoming failures like Gillette razors and Disney studios.
Trump is not helping himself by his personal attacks on en such as DeSantis, Glenn Youngkin, Brian Kemp, and Ted Cruz.
