The New York Post spent weeks fearmongering about vaccines. Now it's telling people to 'GET VAXXED'
CNN
Rupert Murdoch's New York Post tabloid newspaper makes a very clear statement on Thursday: "GET VAXXED!" It is a laudable message — or at least it would be if the Post hadn't been spending so much energy recently fear-mongering on the Covid-19 vaccines.
The front page features those words next to a newly-vaccinated resident's arm and a call to other arms. "With only half of NYers jabbed," the paper says, "we need you to help get us back to normal." "The irony is that the NYPost has been tweeting out anti-vaxx nonsense," writer and liberal commentator Molly Jong-Fast tweeted Thursday morning.Elected officials, Jewish advocacy groups and civil rights leaders are vowing to “push back” against the message of a White nationalist group that staged a march last week near downtown Columbus, Ohio, calling the demonstration an act of hate unwelcome in their community – and the United States more broadly.
Senate Democrats have confirmed some of President Joe Biden’s picks for the federal bench this week in the face of President-elect Donald Trump’s calls for a total GOP blockade of judicial nominations – in part because several Republicans involved with the Trump transition process have been missing votes.
