In the hours after the Boston Marathon terror attack, the New York Post was initially quoted by many other news outlets when they put the death toll in the Boston attack at 12 deaths.

Child abuse and molestation present a different set of problems. Even in cases where a victim is aware of what is going on, they may [...]

CBS TV has apparently endorsed Brooklyn DA Charles Hynes for reelection, by playing him as himself in his real life role as Brooklyn District Attorney. The show will be a series of six one hour episodes that could easily be construed as a prolonged infomercial for the Hynes reelection campaign. The Daily News described the [...]

Bloomberg’s approach is simple. He has no respect for voters when he can buy elected representatives for chump change.

Mayor Bloomberg will not be running in next year’s mayoral race. No one, of course yet suspects him of having enough arrogance to alter the term limits laws yet again after he spent 102 million in the election and still only squeaked through with 50.7% of the vote.
