New York Daily News
The New York Daily News is a U.S. newspaper based in New York City. It is the ninth most widely circulated daily newspaper in the country, printing 200,000 copies a day. It was founded in 1919, and was the first U.S. daily printed in tabloid format. As of 2017, the paper is owned by tronc, the publishing operations of the former Tribune Company, and is headquartered at 4 New York Plaza in Lower Manhattan.
Though a self-proclaimed Republican newspaper for much of its history, the Daily News in recent years has exhibited a more moderate-to-liberal bias, and is often contrasted with the right-rated New York Post.

Amy Klobuchar is standing tall — but not that tall.
The rising star Democratic presidential candidate joked about her height during a discussion about President Trump’s sophomoric effort to belittle Michael Bloomberg as too short.
Bloomberg is 5-foot-7, but Trump derisively refers to him as “Mini Mike” and claimed the other day that the billionaire ex-mayor is “a 5’4” mass of dead energy.”
“I am the only one that is truly 5 foot 4,” Klobuchar told Bill Maher in an interview that aired Friday night.
The HBO funny man then brought up Jefferson, claiming that the Founding Father was similarly vertically challenged.
“Exactly!” exclaimed Klobuchar while pointing dramatically at Maher.
