Today's headline was..


DEAD DIRTY BASTARD


I mean, really.

 

[Eminem]

lol

 

[IntestineBoy]

Well that is what you get from Rupert Murdoch.

 

[belgurdo]

Oh my God :lol

 

[Father_Brain]

At first I thought that referred to Yasir Arafat.

No, their headline for Arafat's death had even less tact.*


(*Not saying I'm Arafat's greatest fan, but the Post did kinda break down the journalistic fourth wall on that one)

Can't find a picture, but apparently it was:

ARAFAT DEAD -- And he won't be missed

Holy shit :lol

Nypost was having fun with yasser and his gold digging wife.

 

[tedtropy]

Wait a minute, biasness in modern media? No! I don't believe it! <la, la, la, la>

OMFG how did I miss that one? hahahahaha :lol :lol :lol :lol

Well, by its nature, a media bias is going to exist no matter what. Left, right, whatever. But the NY Post wears its politics on its sleeve. It gets a little out of control sometimes.

 

[Zilch]

Wow, that one with his wife on it is scathing.

 

[Syckx]

So who was today's headline directed at?

 

[Ripclawe]

So who was today's headline directed at?

 

[automagnus]

can't say I really like Yasser but the new york post sucks. Benjamin Franklin is rolling in his grave.

Metro < Am NewYork < New York Post < daily News < New York Times

 

[Syckx]

Didn't know Dirty died. That is pretty crude.

 

[MIMIC]

They were already humiliated with that Kerry VP cover story.

 

[PS2 KID]

Jason Blair. Worst NY newspaper scandal. At the NY Times. :lol

 

[FortNinety]

As a New Yorker, I will never, never pay a single cent for the trash they call newspapers here.

 

[xsarien]

Jason Blair. Worst NY newspaper scandal. At the NY Times. :lol

And he was promptly fired, the paper took full responsibility, and there were shake-ups at the highest levels. Even with Jayson Blair, the NY Times has decades of credibility to its name, the Post is - and always has been - a rag, and everyone within a 100 mile radius of any of the five boroughs knows it.

 

[Shinobi]

I would so hit that Amber chick...




























Oh yeah, fuck the NY Post.

Still it didn't happen at the Post and the Times itself admits it's liberal bias. Maybe FortNintey is right. Not worth the paper they are printed on. I should get Newsday. Oh wait, they are being audited for their false circulation numbers. :lol

William Duranty agrees.

 

[MetatronM]

Nypost was having fun with yasser and his gold digging wife.

The thing that really makes this is the small headline at the bottom. "Nanny nails Danny" :lol

Something absolutely hilarious about that sharing front page honors with the death of Yasser Arafat.

 

[tralfazz]

Here is tomorrow's headline

 

[FoneBone]

Wait a minute, biasness in modern media? No! I don't believe it! <la, la, la, la>

"Biasness"?

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

For kicks, here are the fake post-election NYP covers as predicted by The Daily Show.

or

 

[Mejilan]

As a NY, the NY Post is little more than a source of amusement. Sometimes it works (Arafat), sometimes it doesn't.

 

[yoshifumi]

the fake headlines aren't even funny anymore because if anything they're less ridiculous than the real ones :lol

 

[Shinobi]

:lol Good point...

"Biasness"?

Whoops, I'm sure I meant 'bias', but probably stuck a 'ness' on there to make it faster. I henceforth promise to never use improper spelling in an Internets forum post again.

Wow, I wonder if the jews are controlling the new york media..

I GUESS SO!

Fucking disgusting.

Not that I'm a fan of the NY Post, but... keep your fucking moronic anti-Semitic conspiracy theories to yourself. Thank you.

Today's headline was..


DEAD DIRTY BASTARD


I mean, really.

:lol I thought Dick Cheny died, I had to check the news.

 

[worldrunover]

The Post is by far the worst tabloid in New York. People may claim bias in the Times, but at least they report the Goddamn news.

 

[effzee]

Still it didn't happen at the Post and the Times itself admits it's liberal bias. Maybe FortNintey is right. Not worth the paper they are printed on. I should get Newsday. Oh wait, they are being audited for their false circulation numbers. :lol

so because ny times had a scandal and might be biased in favor of the left it makes it ok for this paper to print these headlines?

 

[PS2 KID]

If that is what sells papers. Let them print all the headlines that are fit to print. If they consider Arafat 'won't be missed' and his wife a gold digger, then maybe they have written a story or two on why they think that way. If they are 'shameless' about how they promote themselves, then it's definitely not a 'hidden' agenda like other more liberal newspapers (and just cause it's hidden doesn't give them an 'aura' of objectivity either).

..and yes, the NY Post is a newspaper that reports the 'Goddamn' news. Go online and see for yourself. Plenty of International, US, local stories, sports, entertainment news etc. That's why it's called a Newspaper. They are one of the fastest growing US newspapers in circulation for a reason. It's not all sensationalist headlines or a 'rag' as some people would conveniently label it.

 

[Matrix]

Wow, I wonder if the jews are controlling the new york media..

I GUESS SO!

Fucking disgusting.

Really shut the hell up.

 

[cvxfreak]

That's pretty fucked up in the Arafat/ODB case. =/

 

[Star Power]

As a New Yorker, I will never, never pay a single cent for the trash they call newspapers here.

The Times is great. And the Daily News isn't too bad.

 

[Gregory]

Really shut the hell up.

Well, atleast here in western Europe, and the rest of the world outside america I guess, Arafat`s death is met by grief and great respect for the man. The man was a Nobel piece price winner for gods sake.

But I see this NY newspaper is of the more trashy ones, like UK`s The Sun, thankfully. I didnt know that before.

 

[Dan]

Your point is still retarded to the max.

Wow, I wonder if the jews are controlling the new york media..

I GUESS SO!

Fucking disgusting.

The New York Post != the New York media

And if you think only Jews disliked Arafat, you're really clueless.

Jesus, talk about jumping to conclusions based on one newspaper's headline.

 

[Ripclawe]

Well, atleast here in western Europe, and the rest of the world outside america I guess, Arafat`s death is met by grief and great respect for the man. The man was a Nobel piece price winner for gods sake.

oh well then, I guess western europe forgot he is the father of modern day terrorism, lets not forget him trying to overthrow the government of Jordan, Black September, Munich olympics, suicide bombers... I'm not surprised that sections of Western Europe grieve for him, it's typical behavior.

 

[Loki]

Arafat`s death is met by grief and great respect for the man. The man was a Nobel piece price winner for gods sake.

I knew that some of Arafat's policies were divisive and led to splintering among the populace, but I didn't realize that he received a commendation explicitly for it.

Yeah, unlike the totally innocent occupying nation Israel. Who do you think is more impartial in the Israel/Palestinian conflict, Europe, or the 5 billion dollars a year in "aid", USA?
