New York Daily Snooze (New York Daily News nickname)
New York Daily Snooze is an unflattering nickname of the New York (NY) Daily News newspaper. The nickname Daily Snooze has been cited in print since 1938, but has become popular since about 1995 -- often used by the tabloid newspaper rival New York Post.

Martin Dunn, The Daily News' editor in chief, denied that the paper was trying to exploit the Burkle story to hit back at its rival.
