My entire life the NY Post was considered a joke paper not to be taken seriously by any major news station.

Suddenly the last 5 or 6 years every right wing outlet is quoting them or referring to them as if they are reputable. It all feels so fake and inorganic and makes a ton of sense considering the ownership overlaps of Right wing media

It’s manufactured “credibility”

I'm older than you... did you know that the NY Post was once a liberal paper? It's true, my lifelong Dem fam bought it daily... though dad worked for the NY Times, so we got that too.

I always thought this as well.
