History
When Homer moved in with Grady and Julio, he saw Julio reading The New York Times over breakfast and asked him why he was reading it, as he was not living in New York. Julio answered that he read the Times because the headlines in The Springfield Shopper were all jokes. To prove his point, Julio showed Homer an issue of the Shopper.[1]
After Bart mooned the flag and the media started covering the incident, a newspaper editor told a reporter that he wanted to over-hype the story so much it would make the New York Post look like The New York Times. The editor then backed off and said "or The New York Times look like the New York Post", as he had forgotten which of the two papers was "the good one".[2]
When Professor Frink tried to get past The New York Times' firewall his house exploded and he flew out of it.[3]
