You’ll find the Post on this Media Bias Chart in the lower right quadrant (“extreme / unfair interpretations of the news” teetering between “leans right” and “hyper-partisan right”). If you want the real story, I suggest googling her name + any of the sources in the upper middle “news reporting, neutral bias” sources.

Exactly, the NY Post's journalistic reputation bit the dust within only a couple of years of Rupert Murdoch acquiring it back in the mid-1970's. The once venerable newspaper founded by Alexander Hamilton is now best known for articles about celebrity love lives and the shenanigans of the Real Housewives. It's the closest thing America has to the British tabloids. Great if you thrive on gossip and overwrought hyperbole, but not a particularly balanced source of real news.
