Everyone’s saying RIP MTV because they “won’t play music videos anymore.” But maybe hold them accountable for ushering in the reality TV era instead. That was the real death spiral. Culture has not been better for it.

Yesterday, the NY Post denounced the "nepo baby" in the mayor's race, but they weren't talking about the former governor who's the son of a former governor.

Today, the NY Post has an even bigger scoop about the vile stolen valor of calling someone "aunt"
