The New York Post is an American daily newspaper, primarily distributed in New York City and its surrounding area. It is the 13th-oldest and seventh-most-widely circulated newspaper in the United States. Established in 1801 by federalist and Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, it became a respected broadsheet in the 19th century, under the name New York Evening Post. Since 1993, the Post has been owned by News Corporation and its successor, News Corp, which had owned it previously from 1976 to 1988. Its editorial offices are located at 1211 Avenue of the Americas, in New York City, New York.
Shortly after his spirit took up residence in the body of Donald Trump, Pmurt reviewed a copy of the New York Post and got up to speed on his new body and the fact that he was scheduled to open a hotel in Arkham, Massachusetts that day.[1] Later, during a conversation with Louise Pierce, he called her concerns about the water in Arkham Reservoir "fake news", a phrase he'd picked up from the Post.[2]
Under the ownership of J. David Stern, the New York Post had initially supported PresidentJoe Steele through his reelection in 1936, but had quietly become neutral as Steele's administration grew more repressive.[3] Nonetheless, the Post did run pieces by Mike Sullivan that were critical of Steele. However, when Stern authorized the Sullivan-penned editorial, "Where Is Our Freedom Going?" in 1937,[4] the Administration responded by taking Sullivan into custody,[5] and sending him to a camp in Montana.[6] In early 1944, Sullivan's editor Stan Feldman was arrested himself.[7]
