It’s a rare topic for the DMZ America Podcast, where editorial cartoonists Ted Rall (Left) and Scott Stantis (Right) discuss something the world of print journalism doesn’t see often anymore: the launch of a new daily print newspaper.
Right-wing Australian company NewsCorp is launching the California Post, a brash new daily tabloid, in Los Angeles in early 2026! This isn’t just a newspaper—it’s a Murdoch empire move, modeled after the New York Post with its in-your-face headlines, celebrity gossip, and conservative-leaning lens. NewsCorp’s $10.1 billion media giant is banking on California’s 7.3 million Post readers to embrace this print and digital venture, led by editor Nick Papps.
But critics slam its right-wing bias, fearing it will inflame California’s already polarized media scene. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Times is bleeding millions and slashing staff—reeking of death—leaving a gap NewsCorp aims to fill with “common-sense” journalism.
