The silly clowncil bilking the taxpayers for their own gain is hardly surprising. Throughout socialist and communist history, the mantra has always been "everyone is equal but some are more equal than others". In this instance, those who are "more equal" are Cano, Cunningham and Jenkins.

Is "sophisticated" your dog whistle for "those who don't agree with my views are un-sophisticated idiots"?
I have a close friend who graduated Yale magna *** laude in 1979 and Harvard Law School who regularly buys the New York Post off the newsstand. My IQ might be 79 but his is about double that. He is a "sophisticated reader" by any metric.

The Post has a storied history. Founded in 1801 by Alexander Hamilton, it’s 50 years older than The NY Times and 75 years older than the Washington Post.

New York Post or Washington Post? I'm assuming the New York Post.

Alexander Hamilton was a "duel" citizen.

New York Post. Founded in 1801 as the New York Evening Post.

And, yes, definitely!

And it was a legit newspaper until Rupert Murdoch bought it in 1976 and changed it to a tabloid format. It’s been a pile of rubbish ever since.

And yet still no criticism of the factual basis of the content. You might want to learn to play a different tune. This one is getting tiresome.

As I have explained in previous posts, they tend to take a few basic facts and then apply sensationalism and crude exaggeration to said basic facts. This is textbook yellow journalism.

Boring, maybe, but true. It’s the tabloid business model.
