Besides the sensationalism and the personal attacks lets not throw the baby out with the bath water. There are very valid points that can be culled out of the right wing diatribe.

> Valid points - maybe. The NY Post though is a popular right wing media outlet, and a print version of fox news - in fact they share the same owner. They tend to be (in many ways) anti-UN, anti-liberal/Obama, global warming non-believers and everything else in between. Also like the Sun in the UK (same owner again), they're prone to sensationalist journalism, so I'd take 'most' things they say with a grain of salt.
