Misty Warren (@gaysian7) December 04, 2012New 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:
Today's @nypost cover of the man on the subway tracks is probably the craziest I've ever seen. http://t.co/dJnVNRZf—

The Post is now facing a very nasty backlash — and they’ve earned it:
Just saw the @nypost's cover today of a man moments before his death from a subway pusher. SICK & immoral to print it imho.—

Now i can't un-see that…. The New York Post cover today is too much for my heart.—

Cover of today's @nypost photo of man about to be killed by subway is reprehensible. Way that paper floats in public space, unavoidable.—

. @nypost lacking common sense with today's cover. Terrible.—

Poor taste, even for the Post. RT @NYMag Chilling @NYPost cover shows seconds before the subway death. nym.ag/THcmYV #morbid—

I hope the editors behind today's NYPost cover have their last moments of life horrible exploited.—

The @nypost cover is a crime. Photographer claims he fired off his flash to warn the conductor. While running at the train. While managing—

DEAR @NYpost, this is an exmaple of horrific journalism and you should be ashamed. The editor should be fired. bit.ly/Yw1QLc—

I always knew @nypost was a disgusting rag but today's front cover is so outrageously gross words can't possibly describe it. Shame on them.—

Disgusted and horrified @nypost for splashing a man who's about to die on their cover. Tasteless and unethical journalism—
Lindsey Cohen (@LindzelBean) December 04, 2012
@nypost officially put themselves in the zero class category with today's cover ….might be the most tasteless thing I have ever scene—

And what about the man who lost his life?
@nypost Tosay's cover crosses all lines of decency. His family is going to see the photo of him about to be killed.—

Imagine if the man in that @nypost front page photo about to be killed by a train was your friend & you saw that on a newsstand.—

We can’t. Just horrible.
But perhaps the Post’s colossal lapse in taste highlights something even more disturbing than the cover itself:
Everyone on that platform watched that man die & did nothing but run or take pics. Shameful. And the #NYPost is disgusting for that cover!—

Why did no one save the man in NY? Why did people just watch him instead of helping him?—
