Is the NY Post considered a serious newspaper over there?

[kthxbye123]

No, it's universally considered a far-right tabloid, similar to the Daily Mail or the Sun in the UK.

To clarify further, NY Post is owned by the same person as The Sun, Rupert Murdoch.

It's one of those papers in the strange intersection of "mainstream tabloid". It's clearly not serious, as you can see from a quick glance at their typical cover pages, but it's also not one of the papers everyone knows is untrustworthy schlock.

And it's a paper whose headlines are more widely cited than the articles, because it's known for the catchy headlines.

[SamReidHughes]

Yes, it's a serious newspaper.

But it is known to use sans serif fonts and hire people that went to public schools.

>hire people that went to public schools.

You say this like it's an insult.

[srtjstjsj]

Parent was being sarcastic, insinuating that people who don't like Rupert Murdoch's decades-old propaganda empire are elitist.

[rabuse]

Is information being gated by private universities, that only the elite have access to? This may have had validity in the pre-internet era, but information is everywhere now. There's nothing wrong with "public education".

[SamReidHughes]

I don't think you're disagreeing with me.
