- A rogue New York Post employee on Thursday published a series of racist, lewd, and violent headlines about Hunter Biden, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, and her Republican rival Lee Zeldin, among others, appeared across its platforms.
- The newspaper initially claimed the incident was the result of a breach, saying in a statement that “The New York Post has been hacked and we’re currently investigating the cause.”
- Hours later, however, the paper said an internal probe indicated the offending headlines came from inside the building.
- “The New York Post’s investigation indicates that the unauthorized conduct was committed by an employee, and we are taking appropriate action. This morning, we immediately removed the vile and reprehensible content from our website and social media accounts,” the paper said in a statement.
