Not sure why the New York Post is being used here considering its complete lack of credibility and the fact this story appeared in the New York Times first

Are you questioning Mr. Alexander Hamilton's New York Post???

They're questioning Rupert Murdoch's tabloid-era New York Post, not Dorothy Schiff's liberal NY Post or Alexander Hamilton's Federalist NY Post.

Probably because you read 5 seconds into NYT and get hit with a paywall.

PW;DR, but I'm never going to let that stop me from still leaving comments >:-)

Yeah, but "somebody unlocked the story for you"!

HN usually has a helpful ad-free permalink and this one here is no exception.

Though the NYT article should be the primary one, not the ny post one.

Sure. But I'm sure linking to a paywall inevitably affects the traffic to the post. Extra clicks and scrolling to find a readable link only adds friction.

I'm not an NY Post reader but I respect them for breaking the Hunter Biden laptop story in 2020. The "credible" outlets tried to claim it was disinformation at the time. It took the NY Times 17 months to acknowledge that it was true.

I view them all as ideologically captured propaganda and tools of political interests. I'm also perfectly fine with that. What bothers me is denial from them and their ardent readers that they are not actually "fair and balanced" or objective on stories that can be used to score political points.
