“For over 200 years, the New York Post has been America’s go-to source for bold news”
DISPUTED
While the provided cross-references (which appear to be from the NY Post itself) claim the paper has been around for over 200 years, this is factually incorrect. 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'.
