*''[[California Post]]''

The ''California Post'' began operating early this year as the West Coast arm of the ''[[New York Post]]'', which is considered "generally unreliable". At least 50% of their reporting is politics-based (which the NYP is most notoriously biased with), and it is run by ex-NYP and -[[Breitbart News|Breitbart]] staffers.

I have never used this noticeboard before and am not overly familiar with what I "need", but their site shows the same kind of tabloid ultra-biased reporting as we see in the NYP. (recent headlines include "{{tq|Trump taunts Gavin Newsom’s dyslexia, calling him ‘low IQ’ in Oval Office diatribe}}", "{{tq|GOP senator pitches plan to slash California’s sky-high gas taxes — and save drivers more than $1 per gallon}}", "{{tq|Billionaire Dem heiress keeps backing her ‘loser’ boyfriend’s failed campaigns}}") [[User:Aesurias|aesurias]] <small>''(ping me in your reply, or I won't see it)''  ([[User talk:Aesurias|talk]])</small> 06:07, 18 March 2026 (UTC)

:I think we need to wait and see whether they function as a subsidiary of the NYP and whether they actually publish falsehoods.

::So they are closer than I thought. Still, if their editorial staff is separate I don't think we should aplpy the NYP rating automatically. [[User:Alaexis|Alaexis]]<sub>[[User_talk:Alaexis|¿question?]]</sub> 15:37, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
::We can, of course, give them [[A leopard cannot change its spots|every chance to show that they will be reliable]], but... as they say, whatever comes before "but" can be ignored. Are we taking bets that they will be like NY Post? Please put me down for $20.
