Hey, Politico — Why Does The Post Qualify as ‘Far Right’?

Really, Politico?

The “far-right New York Post”?

In a report released on Wednesday, the site’s Jason Beeberman quips about how “the influential, far-right New York Post” seems to have an interest in Rep. Ritchie Torres’ potential gubernatorial campaign.

We’ll gladly accept the “influential” part: Our last presidential pick is heading to the White House, and our last mayoral choice resides in Gracie Mansion.

But what exactly makes us “far right”?

Yes, we lean to the right for New York City; our endorsements mainly favor Republicans, we back Israel, and our news reporting includes plenty of astonishing accounts of President Biden’s shortcomings at the border, among other topics.

However, there is absolutely nothing that places us outside the bounds of mainstream American opinion, a fact that someone in the profession should be aware of.

This may be a fleeting phrase, but it reflects an ongoing trend—an attempt to marginalize any media that opposes the liberal media majority.

Labeling us as “far right” is a tactic employed by the partisan “disinformation” censorship apparatus (The World Federation of Advertisers and GARM sought to undermine our advertising revenue), getting blocked on Facebook for mentioning the lab-leak theory (now accepted by the federal government) and experiencing suppression of our fully accurate 2020 coverage on Hunter Biden’s laptop.

Perhaps Beeberman was just trying to be amusing: He mentioned Torres was “keen to criticize the far-left wing of his party,” so referencing the “far-right” Post seemed humorous.

Yet the issue arises from a journalistic and Democratic Party elite that prefers to silence dissenting voices rather than engage in debate, aiming to label conflicting opinions as extreme.

This sets the stage for groupthink.

We’re not far-right; we embody common sense. Politico merely refuses to acknowledge it.
