**SNIP**

Just hours after being sworn in as the city’s public advocate, Letitia James went on TV to claim that she played a key role in helping expose “the face of poverty in the City of New York” on the ‘front page of The New York Times.

**SNIP**

But the Times refuted James’ account, saying she had nothing to do with its articles.

“Andrea Elliott [the Times reporter] met Dasani in the course of interviewing residents outside the Auburn shelter, and exposed conditions there by following the family. Andrea never talked to Ms. James, nor was she source for the story,” Times assistant managing editor Matt Purdy said in a statement.

NYC deserves her.

Letitia James proves Public Advocate position is useless

Thank you, Letitia James.

In just two days, the new public advocate’s outrageous behavior has made a slam-dunk case for the argument The Post has been making for decades: The public advocate is New York City’s most useless job — and it ought to be abolished.

Seems like a girl-fight over a doll:
"She's MY prop!"
"No, she's MINE!"
"Daddy Times said I get the attention, not YOU!"
"Well, Daddy DeBlasio is gonna put your Daddy Times outta business someday...'cause he's the MAYor!"

If I may be so bold?

If a democrat's leftoid's lips are moving they are lying!

I call 'em "leftoid" because that covers everything from "liberal" through "progressive" past "communist" right on to "steaming wet cowflop."

What is the point of being a liberal if you cannot lie without penalty?

And "leftoid" is more polite, in civil company than, "shit for brains".

NYT built on lies... owned by the prince of lies... operated for the prince of lies.
