The New York Times is under fire for an Instagram post suggesting viral video of women reporting being randomly punched on the streets might be “stoking anxiety” about crime in the Big Apple – a take dozens of commenters viewed as sexist. The post shared on the @nytstyle Instagram Thursday afternoon linked to an article about the recent spate of videos from young female TikTokkers sharing similar stories of men punching them in the face on the sidewalk. “You need to rewrite this whole caption. ‘Men are violently attacking women in NYC,’” one commenter wrote underneath the post, which ran...

"A Dozen NYPD Officers Arrest a Guy Smoking a Cigarette Outside as Rapists and Murderers Roam Free" So with murder, rape, assaults, burglary, and shoplifting running a mok in NY, they send twelve police officers to arrest a guy smoking a cigarette outside. In a city in which a guy feels free to ride his motorcycle down the street just shooting random people, the police apparently have their priorities in line.

President Trump's White House sent a clear message to major media outlets on Monday: You don't matter as much anymore. The White House for years has deferred to newswires and major TV networks, all of whom are represented in the first row of the White House briefing room, for the first several questions at the daily briefing. But on Monday, White House press secretary Sean Spicer called on very different group of reporters. He first called on the New York Post. Then, the Christian Broadcasting Network. That was followed by Univision and Fox Business. Spicer then took a question from...

Donald Trump scored a much-needed win Monday by focusing on his tax plan in a major policy speech. It was such a win, in fact, that the New York Post declared that both parties should embrace it.

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Have you seen the New York Post again with nude photos of Melania Trump? And today these are, what would you call, girl-on-girl I think is the -- nude girl-on-girl photos with Melania and other women. I think this probably might wrap up the LGBTQ vote for Trump. You never know how these things are seen. You never know. And the single white male vote, particularly the some or no college educated white male vote. Yeah, I mean, isn't this the kind of stuff that makes people big stars today on Twitter and Facebook, TMZ? I mean,...

The New York Post released a special preview of tomorrow's cover page, where they dubbed Hillary Clinton "Grillary".

Mayor de Blasio’s ties to the Brooklyn Democratic boss he teamed up with to anoint the next City Council speaker run all the way to Hizzoner’s doorstep, The Post has learned. Since 2012, de Blasio has refinanced both homes he owns in Park Slope through the firm where Brooklyn Democratic leader Frank Seddio formerly served as vice president — Wall Street Mortgage Bankers. Public records show that the most recent deal came just three days after de Blasio’s primary victory on Sept. 10, when he refinanced his 11th Street home with the firm for $625,000. In June 2012, he had...

There's a big story getting passed around in military circles and beyond from The New York Post that President Obama wants the Marines to start wearing 'girly' caps... As a Marine veteran who knows how these changes actually happen, I can tell you the story is 100% B.S. The bottom line: The President doesn't involve himself in what troops happen to be wearing... "The President in no way, shape, or form directed the Marine Corps to change our uniform cover," said Capt. Maureen Krebs, a spokesperson for the Marine Corps. "We're looking for a new cover for our female Marines...

NEW YORK Manhattan gossip columnist Liz Smith, who knew her way around a blind item long before today’s celebrity bloggers were born, is no longer a New York Post columnist, due to financial considerations. Her last Post column will appear this Thursday. Starting next week Smith will move her column to women-celebrating Web site wowowow.com -- of which she is a founder -- marking the first time in 33 years that Liz Smith’s column will not be in a New York newspaper, according to the site.

Leaders of the NAACP on Saturday called for the firing of the New York Post cartoonist whose drawing lampooning the federal stimulus bill has drawn charges that it's racist and encourages violence toward President Obama. Speaking at the civil rights group's annual meeting in New York, NAACP President Benjamin Todd Jealous said that if Sean Delonas is not fired, the group will call for protests of the paper and Fox television affiliates, which are owned by Post parent company News Corp. "There is consensus that if the Post does not ... get rid of the journalists who are responsible for...

Filmmaker Spike Lee led the call for celebrities to join a boycott of the New York Post Friday during a raucous protest of a racially charged cartoon. Joined by his 11-year-old son, Lee told a crowd of about 300 people that he has bought the tabloid in the past - but no more. And he suggested athletes and entertainers shun the paper's writers because of Wednesday's cartoon, which compared President Obama with a crazed chimp by some interpretations. "This is not the end," Lee told the demonstrators, who marched in front of the Post's offices near Rockefeller Center shouting, "Shut...

NY Post jumps gun to endorse McCain The newspaper waited until October to endorse Bush in 2000 and 2004. Some say its September endorsement of presidential hopeful John McCain is just a marketing ploy. Breaking with newspaper tradition—and its own past practices—the New York Post endorsed Sen. John McCain for president on Monday, becoming the first major newspaper to enter the editorial sweepstakes that are a traditional part of the campaign season. Most editorial pages still adhere to the tradition of hearing out the candidates during the period after Labor Day, when the general public is believed to start giving...

POST ENDORSES JOHN MCCAIN   THAT'S THE TICKET: John McCain and Sarah Palin, here onstage at the Republican convention, offer the promise of sound economic, security and energy policies.  THE Post today enthusiastically urges the election of Sen. John S. McCain as the 44th president of the United States. McCain's lifelong record of service to America, his battle-tested courage, unshakeable devotion to principle and clear grasp of the dangers and opportunities now facing the nation stand in dramatic contrast to the tissue-paper-thin résumé of his Democratic opponent, freshman Sen. Barack Obama. McCain has been in Washington for many years...

The New York Post published the op-ed piece that the New York Times rejected from John McCain, as debate continues over the decision to spike it. The piece itself appears to have much the same approach as Barack Obama’s earlier op-ed; in fact, it goes into greater detail than Obama’s while specifically rebutting Obama’s earlier argument.

EDITORS' NOTE: The New York Times wouldn't print this oped from the GOP candidate.

February 1, 2008 -- Residents of 21 states, including New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, go to the polls Tuesday in what amounts to a national primary election. For Republicans, the choice is clear:Sen. John McCain of Arizona.

December 25, 2005 -- And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David). To be taxed with Mary, his espoused wife, being great with child.

There is saintliness in a soldier's prospective acceptance of an honorable death in combat. To diminish such a deed, especially in service of a political agenda, approaches sacrilege. ADVERTISEMENT So it was with the manner in which The New York Times last week noted the death of Cpl. Jeffrey Starr, USMC, of Snohomish, Wash., who was killed in Ramadi on April 30 during his third tour of duty in Iraq. The young Marine's death was a centerpiece in the Times' coverage of America's 2,000th combat death in Iraq. The newspaper's overview of the war is no secret: To hear the...

As much as I wish I still were a New Yorker, I had to leave Manhattan last fall for reasons beyond my control. For the most part, I can handle it ... between TV and radio and the Net, I can get enough of a New York fix from where I am now to keep me from dying of withdrawal. But as far as actual print newspapers go, the only paper I can get my hands on from here is the Times (ick) and only the Sunday National edition of that (ack pfht ptoo!).Even that I can live with, usually. ...
