The New York Post is America ’s most accomplished and aggressive journalistic outfit on the right.

The connection between Eric Adams and the paper was, at points, beyond symbiotic.

From its front-page endorsement in the month before the Democratic primary in 2021 until the end of the election that year , the Post printed ten covers either boosting Adams or trashing his rivals.

Eric Adams' team worked long and hard to develop its relationship with the Post , especially in early 2021 , when the paper’s endorsement appeared to be up for grabs.

They pressured wealthy donors to whisper in Murdoch 's ear about the former Republican , former police captain fond of bashing the woke left.

One member of the Adams camp says that they leaked a promising poll to Politico .

Some senior Posties say they were told to steer clear of Adams’s mysterious personal life, despite the sort of rumor swirl that generally sends the paper into overdrive.

The union of the paper and Adams was bound to have an expiration date, especially with crime rising under the new “law and order” mayor.
