'''New York City''', officially the '''City of New York''', is a city and metropolis in the state of [[New York]], located on the East coast of the [[United States of America]].  New York City is known best for the [[New York Stock Exchange]] and financial district, its [[liberal media]], its rat infestation, its [[liberal]] [[Broadway]] shows, and its high cost of living.  New York City is also where the major networks grew in influence: [[Fox News]], [[ABC]], [[CBS]] and [[NBC]].  Domination by [[Dem]] politicians has caused the long-term moral and intellectual decline of the "Big Apple," as it has been called.

===Giuliani era===

As Mayor, [[Rudy Giuliani]] sought to return accountability to city government and improve the quality of life for all New Yorkers. Under his leadership, overall crime fell 57%, murder was reduced by 65%, shootings dropped 72% and New York was recognized by the F.B.I. as the safest large city in America for five consecutive years. Although national crime rates fell in the 1990s, New York exceeded all other cities. Among Giuliani's most notable accomplishments during his mayoralty was his successful assault on [[pornography]] businesses in [[Times Square]]. The neighborhood had long been a mecca for "sexually oriented businesses", but through a prolonged campaign that included maintaining an alliance of local businesses, conservative and feminist groups, and the general public, Giuliani managed to clean it up and replace it with legitimate theaters, restaurants and shops, making it a world-class tourist attraction for families.

New York City is historically considered a [[liberal]] city, with the majority of the population voting Democrat. However, the mayor has recently been [[Republican]], in the case of [[Rudy Giuliani]] or independent in the case of the [[liberal]] [[Michael Bloomberg]]. In November 2013, liberal Democrat Bill de Blasio was elected mayor and despite his anti-law enforcement rhetoric and liberal socialistic policies, was re-elected in November 2017. [[Fox News Channel]] is based there in Manhattan. Of the 13 congressional districts that include parts of New York City, only one is represented by a Republican (Nicole Malliotakis of [[Staten Island]]).
