“the New York Post has been America’s go-to source for bold news... For over 200 years”
DISPUTED
The claim states the New York Post has been around for 'over 200 years'. However, the New York Post was founded in 1841. As of 2024/2025, it has been in operation for approximately 183-184 years, not over 200. The cross-references provided are self-referential marketing claims from the Nypost itself, which are factually incorrect regarding the timeline.
