(9,230 posts)4. Unreadable!! First, the endless shitty ad pop-ups...
Sometimes, after a Google search I can wind up on the Post. Too hard to read with all the pop-ups and propaganda.
And then there is the shitty writing!!!!

(25,695 posts)8. Yup. And from wiki:
(my underline)
"In 1945, The Bronx Home News merged with it.[36] In 1949, James Wechsler became editor of the paper, running both the news and the editorial pages. In 1961, he turned over the news section to Paul Sann and stayed on as editorial page editor until 1980. Under Schiff's tenure the Post was seen to have liberal tilt, supporting trade unions and social welfare, and featured some of the most popular columnists of the time, such as Joseph Cookman, Drew Pearson, Eleanor Roosevelt, Max Lerner, Murray Kempton, Pete Hamill, and Eric Sevareid, theater critic Richard Watts Jr., and gossip columnist Earl Wilson."
