After initially making the Boston Bombing death total at 12 and not changing it for hours despite confirmed reports of three deaths, the New York Post again showed its journalistic integrity by putting a photo of two men they claim are suspects in the case, but in fact are just runners that were there.
According to Deadspin.com, the brilliant people at the New York Post couldn't even be bothered to look up who the two were, as they identified them as suspects mainly because they had dark skin and were holding bags, even though the bags were not the ones shown to be found at the crime scene. Deadspin reports that one of the runners is a track athlete from Revere High School and last week competed in an event where ran and two mile run in 11:20.
The man went on Facebook as the story built up and wrote that he was going to clear his name, writing: "Going to the court rightnow!! Shit is real. But u will see guys I'm did not do anything." These days it doesn't matter about being right when it comes to the New York Post, just about being first even if they are wrong and racial profiling is not above their integrity as well.
Officials are planning to release the actual photos of suspects, who authorities said were not standing next to each other during the race. The report also said that the bags the two were holding were not the same as the ones found. Another said day for journalism everywhere and the New York Post should be ashamed of themselves, but they don't care because they just want to sell papers for Rupert Murdoch.
