With news of the upcoming News Corporation split into a separate publication company, once again the media spotlight turns to the infamous Rupert Murdoch and his newspaper holdings, including The New York Post. Columnist Michael Wolff of The Guardian recently published his take on the future of the Post, and it’s not positive. Wolff stated that The New York Post will not outlive Rupert Murdoch, and in fact, is seriously on the decline.

But Wolff wasn’t exactly lamenting the passing of this long-standing news staple. Although most historical yellow journalism gossip rags have long faded away, Wolff says The New York Post is one of the only  “bully-boy newspapers” remaining where “lawless” and “unrepentant” journalism still have an outlet.
