New York Post readers were greeted this morning with a shocking sight. Slapped across the cover was a photo of a man seconds away from being killed by an oncoming subway train:<\/p>\n\n\n

Today’s @nypost<\/a> cover of the man on the subway tracks is probably the craziest I’ve ever seen. twitter.com\/samir\/status\/2…<\/a><\/p>\n

The Post is now facing a very nasty backlash — and they’ve earned it:<\/p>\n\n\n

Just saw the @nypost<\/a>‘s cover today of a man moments before his death from a subway pusher. SICK & immoral to print it imho.<\/p>\n

Now i can’t un-see that…. The New York Post cover today is too much for my heart.<\/p>\n

Cover of today’s @nypost<\/a> photo of man about to be killed by subway is reprehensible. Way that paper floats in public space, unavoidable.<\/p>\n

\n\n\n

. @nypost<\/a> lacking common sense with today’s cover. Terrible.<\/p>\n

#Outraged<\/a> at cover of The New York Post (DISGUSTING) Man gets hit by a train and they print a pix of the train coming toward the man! Smfh<\/p>\n

Poor taste, even for the Post. RT @nymag<\/a> Chilling @nypost<\/a> cover shows seconds before the subway death. nym.ag\/THcmYV<\/a> #morbid<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\n\n

I hope the editors behind today’s NYPost cover have their last moments of life horrible exploited.<\/p>\n

\n\n\n

The @nypost<\/a> cover is a crime. Photographer claims he fired off his flash to warn the conductor. While running at the train. While managing<\/p>\n

\n\n\n

DEAR @nypost<\/a>, this is an exmaple of horrific journalism and you should be ashamed. The editor should be fired. bit.ly\/Yw1QLc<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\n\n

Smh at today’s @nypost<\/a> cover! uncompassionate schmucks<\/p>\n

\n\n\n

The #NYPost<\/a> cover today is just ridiculous. They have no shame<\/p>\n

\n\n\n

That New York Post cover is horribly disrespectful.<\/p>\n

— bread xtravaganza (@MavisGary) December 4, 2012<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\n\n

I always knew @nypost<\/a> was a disgusting rag but today’s front cover is so outrageously gross words can’t possibly describe it. Shame on them.<\/p>\n

— Scott Roth (@scottroth76) December 4, 2012<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\n\n

Disgusted and horrified @nypost<\/a> for splashing a man who’s about to die on their cover. Tasteless and unethical journalism<\/p>\n

— Lindsey Cohen (@LindzelBean) December 4, 2012<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\n\n

@nypost<\/a> officially put themselves in the zero class category with today’s cover ….might be the most tasteless thing I have ever scene<\/p>\n

— Isaiah Orlen (@ISOglobal) December 4, 2012<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

And what about the man who lost his life?<\/p>\n\n\n

@nypost<\/a> Tosay’s cover crosses all lines of decency.His family is going to see the photo of him about to be killed.<\/p>\n

— Sharon Kuper (@SharonKuper) December 4, 2012<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\n\n

Imagine if the man in that @nypost<\/a> front page photo about to be killed by a train was your friend & you saw that on a newsstand.<\/p>\n

— CatsPolitics (@CatsPolitics) December 4, 2012<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

We can’t. Just horrible.<\/p>\n

But perhaps the Post’s colossal lapse in taste highlights something even more disturbing than the cover itself:<\/p>\n\n\n

Everyone on that platform watched that man die & did nothing but run or take pics. Shameful. And the #NYPost<\/a> is disgusting for that cover!<\/p>\n

— Tzena Nicole (@TzenaNicole) December 4, 2012<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\n\n

Why did no one save the man in NY? Why did people just watch him instead of helping him?<\/p>\n
