"Murders and shootings have declined but many New Yorkers say they feel unsane [sic]."

Of course they do - because aside from those two particular violent crimes, felony violence is way up the last few years. And that is even with woke DAs letting offenders skate with misdemeanors that really should be felonies, and hiding stats on what everyone under 18 is doing. You keep pretending the Post is making up this dramatic increase in violence and disorder, and they absolutely are not.

"When crime was historically low under de Blasio, the Post pretended there were crime waves anyway"

That is simply untrue, as the list of Post covers reflects.

"A large number of journalists now recognize the coverage of David Dinkins, the first Black mayor, was inordinately harsh and led directly to the rise of Rudy Giuliani."

Also not true. A lot of woke journalists like to *think* it was inordinately harsh, but they are wrong. This group includes people like John Eligon, who is a left-wing extremist pretending to be a Times journalist. His most recent article tries to argue the "Kill the Boer" song in South Africa doesn't actually mean anyone wants to kill Boers. Despite the fact that people are in fact killing Boers. But whatever, black good, white bad!

"if you want to find out about machinations in the City Council or a small-scale controversy in the public schools, the Post or maybe the News is your only real bet."

I'm so grateful for Chalkbeat New York covering our public schools, which no longer covered reliably by our daily newspapers.
