Backlash is growing after the New York Post described prominent children’s content creator Ms Rachel as a “controversial YouTube star” following her appointment to New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s inaugural committee, a label critics say reflects a broader effort to stigmatise pro-Palestine speech.
Parents and activists online pushed back sharply, arguing that opposing the killing of children is a basic humanitarian stance, not a controversial opinion. At the same time, Mamdani has drawn support from progressives for assembling an inauguration slate that openly reflects the coalition that powered his election victory.
What do you expect? NY Post is owned by Rupert Murdoch the same person who owns Fox “News”. I recommend never giving that rag a penny. Share links to more reputable news sources, if you must share a NY Post link use the archive link and always use an ad blocker.
Before giving me a lecture, how about looking at the source? It’s not the New York Post, its the Middle East Eye, a very reputable and non- MSM source. Knee-jerk responses are really not helpful.
I must not have made myself clear. I wasn’t talking about Middle East Eye, I was talking about NY Post. I’m advising people avoid linking to or sharing links to NY Post so it doesn’t get ad revenue.
I’m basically acknowledging the issue mentioned in the article and saying it’s par for the course for NY Post.
