You're right, the NY Post and the NY Times are absolutely the same class of paper.
Seriously?
Klaus is a moron, and believes only what he reads in the New York Post.
Newspapers are supposed to reports facts, not rumors. Rumors are for magazines
I meant to say they were reporting leaks, wrongs choice of words. Most of what they reported ended up being true. It's not like they made things up, perhaps their sources didn't have all the info & maybe circumstances changed, it happens.
It's early in pre season when there is a story it will be there. That's what they get paid to do write a story that sells newspapers. As for lies, they generally were correct the Devils were in big financial trouble before sale. I am not trying to defend them but rather be objective within reality.
Seriously; the cognitive dissonance and refusal to accept reality by some here is almost incomprehensible at this point.

Sure the Post was right that VBK could not afford the team. But let's not sing their praises when they were talking NHL takeover one day before a guy buys the team for about $100 million more then what VBK owed for it. Those guys were on the wrong planet in terms of where the pulse of the devils was at that point in time.
I wouldn't waste much time defending either.
The former is fluff, the latter is propaganda.
If......after everything we now know...... you still do not recognize just how dire the financial situation was.... and you really dont believe that the NHL definitely had a contingency plan in place to take over the Devils, should a buyer not emerge AND (key word) complete a deal, then you weren't paying attention. The Devils were in fact for all intents and purposes "bankrupt", simply without having the legal label of bankrupt attached to them for several practical purposes.
Well, it can be argued that virtually all media outlets are propaganda in some form or another. That said, I would not put the NYPost and the NYTimes in the same sentence (besides this one ). The Post is a rag regardless of its political bias. The Times, while clearly favoring the left-wing, is still a quality publication. To be fair, I would say the same thing about the Wall Street Journal despite it leaning to the right-wing.

Again, while the Post was talking NHL takeover, a billionaire owner was hours(not months, not weeks, not even days, but mere hours) away from buying the team while VBK was walking away with $100 million in his pocket.
That is completely whiffing on the story.
But hey, the Devils in Newark were never a tenable situation from the beginning. So what do I know?
it's that the Post has a low bar set for integrity.
I would call it a low-bar more in terms of intellect than integrity.

What's Lindsay Lohan been up to?
Who won big on Million Second Quiz?
Did you see the outfits at The New York Fashion Show?
That's the junk NYP tends to focus (the same silly topics are covered by their main competitor, The Daily News). That, and if it bleeds it leads of course.
As "gossipy" or "trashy" (I prefer to call it entertaining) the Post is, its way ahead of the general content you'll find in the local papers such as Herald or Record. Maybe the NJ papers cover the Devils better than the Post, but in general those papers are mostly garbage in comparison to the Post. Does anyone honestly care about what the Board of Ed is doing in Maywood NJ for example besides the resident of Maywood?
The NYT and Daily News, who Bondy writes for...not the Post.. have NEVER covered the Devils and dont bother reading the NYT go right to PravdaI wouldn't waste much time defending either.
The former is fluff, the latter is propaganda.
