The NYPost (low-quality tabloid) is just echoing an actual article at Forbes, which can also be accessed in archive form here.

In general, when a low-quality tabloid site merely reports on the existence of research done by actual reporters, it's better to follow the links and post the researched article instead of the tabloid one.

Though the secondary sources are equally important (adding some commentary can be very helpful), the secret is to be critical of whatever you read.

NYPost is owned by the same company that owns FOX News.

I have been seeing some really low effort propaganda that verges on trolling from Forbes on YouTube.
