I'm not criticizing the New York Post for being too indie. I'm criticizing them for being profoundly untrustworthy.

    They have a string of controversies like most news organizations, but I think they may be referring to the fact it is owned by News Corp, which is run by Rupert Murdoch who is notorious for companies like Fox News.

The New York Post story you linked is just a write up of original reporting done by CBS. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey-epstein-accuser-maria-farmer-says-his-house-under-constant-tv-surveillance/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey-epstein-accuser-maria-f...

  That article is from nov 18th versus 5th? Besides, for credibility they should have been writing about the obvious problems with Epstein, and everyone but fringe outlets were basically silent over the last decade(s), and in some cases complicit (abc news).

    Both articles are from November 18th. The New York Post one is from four hours later and just summarizes the CBS interview. Your New York Post article links to the CBS one and leads with a picture of the woman telling her story on CBS.

Except it "didn't air because we could not obtain sufficient corroborating evidence to meet ABC's editorial standards about her allegations." This should be an article about journalistic integrity, and ensuring we don't accuse people of things without corroborating evidence. Just because more evidence came out after that point, does not mean it was wrong to require more evidence at the time. I cannot see how this is anything other than a good thing.
