Eric Kallgren Boulder Colorado USA | Posted at 9:24pm on Friday, May 22nd, 2009 | In "Free To Be Ignored," posted on May 21, 2009 at The Big Money blog, James Ledbetter offers a very funny (and very likely fictional) anecdote about the Post:
The rationale that Bloomingdale's CEO Marvin Traub supposedly gave to Rupert Murdoch for not advertising in the New York Post: "Your readers are our shoplifters."

Mondo Times editors Boulder, Colorado USA | Posted at 9:48am on Thursday, February 26th, 2009 | February 24, 2009: The New York Times reported that the New York Post is dropping Liz Smith's gossip column:
" After Thursday, the gossip columnist Liz Smith will not have a home in a New York City tabloid for the first time in 33 years. The New York Post — which has published her gossip column since the days when Donald was still married to Marla and Christie Brinkley was still married to Ricky Taubman — is dropping her column, citing hard times.
“Like so many other newspapers around the nation, we are buffeted by unprecedented economic gales,” Col Allan, the editor in chief of The Post, told Ms. Smith in a Feb. 9 letter that said he was not renewing the contract for what he called her “legendary column.”
Even for Ms. Smith, who turned 86 on Feb. 2, tabloids are so last century. She plans to concentrate on that newer medium, the Internet. She is a founder and part owner of the 11-month-old site wowOwow, for “women on Web,” and said she looked forward to posting scoops there — “free,” she said, “from the constraints of newspaper deadlines.”"

Eric Kallgren Boulder, Colorado USA | Posted at 3:21pm on Monday, February 23rd, 2009 | February 19, 2009: The little monkeys at the New York Post have had second thoughts about the wisdom of the so-called Obama chimp cartoon:
"Wednesday's Page Six cartoon - caricaturing Monday's police shooting of a chimpanzee in Connecticut - has created considerable controversy.
It shows two police officers standing over the chimp's body: "They'll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill," one officer says.
It was meant to mock an ineptly written federal stimulus bill.
Period.
But it has been taken as something else - as a depiction of President Obama, as a thinly veiled expression of racism.
This most certainly was not its intent; to those who were offended by the image, we apologize."
