Hate on the Post all you want, but this is a good piece of journalism that should infuriate every New Yorker. The Post has a lot of sensational articles, but this isn't one of them.

The Post does this every once in awhile. When it comes to local news they sometimes do good investigative journalism and I wouldn’t be surprised if it performs as well or better than their usual trolling

The Post is full of BS way too often but I applaud them for occasionally digging into shit that none of our other local media outlets care about.

Yeah the real issue is that the bar is so low that we have to applaud the Post for doing this once in a blue moon.

I like to think that their tabloid-clickbait funds their actual good work.

Anyway, when reading the Post, stick to the Sports and Local sections and avoid the Opinion and National sections. The tabloid articles are kind of fun if you like brainless celebrity gossip.

I wish the Times would pick up this story, unfortunately everyone just dismisses the Post.

It is surprisingly good for The Post. Still, I wish there was more explanation of the different theories behind why MTA projects are so expensive.

The people who run the post are absolute scumbags, but under the muck and trash, there are a handful of great journalists who work there
