Ruppy's NY Pulp Rag Having Legal Problems

Well Fox News for those who can actually read, monosyllabic under 7 letter words with lots- a-pretty pictures, is having problems. Seems that they have allegedly been boosting their circulation numbers by using the five boroughs as a trash can.
The New York Post is the equivalent of a 25 cent pooper scooper on its best days. I never really believed their circulation was as high as they claimed, well.....

Post delivers circ mess
Thousands of dumped papers unread in city

The New York Post - what they don't give away, they throw away. To make matters worse, they plan to count all the trash as "paid circulation."

In a frantic, desperate effort to jimmy up circulation numbers, the Post has been littering New York City with free copies encased in red plastic bags - 50,000 copies each weekday.

Home delivery agents have been dumping papers on front lawns and porch stoops throughout Brooklyn and Queens Monday through Friday for the past month.

None of the recipients asked for the papers. None of the recipients is paying for them.

The red baggies also have been spotted in vacant lots, amid construction debris on properties with demolished homes and in front of houses clearly still under construction.

Incredibly, the Post says it intends to count the freebies as "paid circulation" - as many as 1.5 million copies over a six-week period.

But WAIT THERE IS MORE!!!

The billionaire, the Post and the $220G shakedown
Page Six writer wanted $$$ to stop inaccurate coverage

A New York Post Page Six staffer solicited $220,000 from a high-profile billionaire in return for a year's "protection" against inaccurate and unflattering items about him in the gossip page, the Daily News has learned.

In two 90-minute meetings, characterized by a shocking breach of ethics, Jared Paul Stern, a fixture on the city's gossip scene who also edited Page Six The Magazine, asked for a series of payments from Ron Burkle, the managing partner of Yucaipa Cos., a conglomerate with interests in supermarkets, celebrity clothing lines, and media.

It was all a setup, a sting monitored by law enforcement, including the U.S. attorney's office and the FBI, who are now investigating the extortion attempt. The meetings, on March 22 and March 31, were videotaped.
