I can't tell you how proud I am to work with my news-side colleagues (@bern_hogan, @postsloane, etc.), who broke the biggest Cuomo stories of the last year.

And I'm extremely proud to work for a punchy *tabloid*. As someone like Christopher Lasch would tell us, 1/x

An opinionated tabloid with a definite worldview, like The Post, is much more attuned to the democratic function and spirit of the earliest American journalism. Pretend-objective, highbrow journalism came much later, with men like Walter Lippman creating its ideology.

And of course, the pretense of total objectivity has been shattered in the digital age. The faux-objective newsrooms are the ones most beholden to ideological orthodoxies. Meanwhile, The Post carries on doing what it's done since the early days of the republic; Hamilton smiles.

Argh, *Lippmann.
