SOURCE CHECK
TAP FOR WHYThe publisher has a site rating of 66 based on 120 stories, which is a strong guide to its institutional credibility. This page is explicitly an editorial-board opinion, so it is not original straight-news reporting and should be assessed as argument rather than reported coverage.

- Editorial standards — The publisher is an established national outlet, though this page is an opinion editorial rather than a news report.
- Author attribution — The author is identified as the Post Editorial Board, making the institutional authorship clear.
The editorial identifies the statements and positions it criticizes, but uses highly charged language and presents serious claims about medical evidence and antisemitism with little supporting documentation or competing perspective.

HOW WE SCORE ↗This is an editorial that advances one side of the argument, with no response from the people criticized and little presentation of counterarguments or supporting evidence for its strongest claims.

- Counterarguments presented — No meaningful counterarguments or replies from the criticized figures are included.
- Loaded language — Repeatedly uses pejorative and inflammatory language.
- Source diversity — The article relies on the board’s interpretation and does not cite a range of sources.

A New York Post editorial condemns Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed’s comparison of circumcision with surgery for minors and criticizes his healthcare platform and statements on antisemitism. It also faults Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer for their responses to comments by Hasan Piker.
The New York Post editorial criticizes Abdul El-Sayed’s response to a question about surgery for minors, in which he asked whether the questioner was circumcised and compared the procedures. The editorial argues that the procedures are not equivalent and also condemns El-Sayed’s support for Medicare for All. These are the editorial’s characterizations and claims, not independently established findings in the article.
The editorial accuses El-Sayed of antisemitism, citing his response to an attempted attack on Jewish children and his handling of comments by campaign surrogate Hasan Piker. It also criticizes House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries for issuing a statement about Piker without naming him, and says Senate leader Chuck Schumer hides behind “big tent” language.
