    Bad Journalism at NY Post re: NYU Suicide

    Please click the image below to read about what happens when bad newspapers like ‘The New York Post’ create melodramatic fiction. It’s an image from a Facebook group devoted to a guy who committed suicide a week ago.

    pdf of New York Post article here.

    Excerpt of Post to the Facebook Group:

    As to the tabloid article written by that rag, we were blown away by its 98% inaccuracies. (Again please see link on other, more accurate article below this message.) We have no idea where they dreamed up their journalistic angle; but that’s what NY tabloids do - they grovel to sell papers and “push” salacious subway reading (& scandalous online fodder) — oh well, gotta love ‘em).

    Interesting but sad story…

    Here’s the better article about the story.
