President  Donald Trump — who gleefully questioned President Barack Obama’s birthplace for years without evidence, long insisted on the guilt of the Central Park Five despite exonerating proof and claimed that millions of illegal ballots cost him the popular vote in 2016 — wanted to have a word with the American public about accuracy in reporting.

The New York City region’s major airports will finally offer free Wi-Fi to travelers, but the generosity has a time limit: 30 minutes. Amid a spate of calls to upgrade its facilities -- Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. recently likened La Guardia Airport to the hub of a “third world country” -- the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey approved a measure that it said would bring the airports into conformity with others around the globe, at least on this count.

Under a modified agreement with Boingo, a wireless Internet provider, travelers will receive 30 minutes of free Wi-Fi and then can pay for
additional access “in hourly, daily or monthly increments,” the agency said. A Boingo subsidiary will pay an estimated $3.8 million “to support the upgrade,” the authority said, recouping the expense “through a cost-share arrangement with the Port Authority.”
