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 in operation for over 200 years. However, the New York Post was founded in 1851 (making it approximately 173 years old as of 2024). The provided cross-references are all from the same source (Nypost), indicating a self-referential claim rather than independent corroboration of a historical fact.
