“For over 200 years, the New York Post has been America’s go-to source for bold news, engaging stories, in-depth reporting, and now, insightful shopping guidance.”
DISPUTED
While the provided cross-references (which appear to be from the New York Post itself) claim the paper has been around for over 200 years, this is factually incorrect. The New York Post was founded in 1852. As of 2024, it has been in operation for approximately 172 years, not 'over 200'. The claim is a self-referential exaggeration by the source.
