Bob McManus, the wry and eminently fair voice of the New York Post for over a decade, died Saturday, April 5, at NYU Langone Hospital. He was 81.
McManus was a Postie for 29 years — the last 12 as the influential editorial page editor, where government waste, public and private corruption, and hypocrisy in all its forms felt the “pain of his withering gaze,” as the paper noted when he retired in 2013.
“He was a journalist’s journalist,” said former Post state editor Fredric U. Dicker.
