Reporter resigns from NY Post over Harris book story
thehill.com
A reporter for the New York Post whose byline appeared on a story suggesting that copies of a book by Vice President Harris was given to children who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border has resigned.

I get that it's fun to dunk on libs but please stop sharing shit from the New York Post and the Daily Mail. They're literally rags.

If you must post it for a dunk then use an archive or screenshot it.

Stop using them for news, no matter how funny it is they're literally just lies.

You guys don't trust NYT because they posted Iraq War cheerleading but then fall for shit like this.

    There's a difference between WaPo - which mostly reports factual stories but spins them to be in the interest of capital - and the NY Post - which fabricates shit out of thin air. You can get real information out of WaPo/NYT whatever if you read it critically. The NY Post literally just prints lies to stir up outrage from chuds. The author of the "Kamala books at border" story literally quit their job because she knew it was false and her boss knew it was false but made her write it anyway.

    NYT and WaPo suck, but there's a difference between them and the Daily Mail or InfoWars.

      Yeah, there is a difference. The difference is liberals think one is an appropriate source of information and the other conservatives think is an appropriate source of information. Wapo and nyt are able to maintain a sheen of liberal respectability by truthfully reporting on things that don't matter and uncritically paraphrasing the state department on things that do.

      They are useful so far as you get to see what type of brain worms are on the menu today.

        This is some real "both sides" shit.

            Maybe I misunderstand your original point. If anyone thinks that WaPo and the NYPost have the same value as far as being able to gather factual information from them, then those people have brainworms.

              I have a tendency to be vague and sarcastic. My point is to say don't post right wing media and then post the hill and WaPo as proof is hypocritical at best and the 53rd type of liberalism at worst.

              The Kopmala story was funny. Everyone got a good laugh. get off your liberal respectability high horse.

                I guess it's more efficient if you let the NYPost do the making-up for you!
