Claim 3: “For over 200 years, the New York Post has been America’s go-to source”

DISPUTED

The claim states the New York Post has been around for over 200 years. However, the New York Post was founded in 1841 (making it approximately 183 years old). The provided cross-references are all from the 'Nypost' itself, which is a self-citation and not an independent verification. Based on historical fact, the claim of 'over 200 years' is mathematically incorrect.
