Last night many on Twitter were angered at this “cover” for today’s New York Daily News:

This is apparently the real NY Daily News Tuesday front page. Not false, but amazingly biased. http://t.co/eqmHTnHlY0

@kesgardner Of all the irresponsible, moronic, pandering, idiotic things to do, this is the worst.

@MarkRothschild1 @kesgardner Sure. I think the Daily News Headline is incredibly irresponsible. Clear enough?

Fueling the animosity: The NY Daily News, shamefully plans to release a false narrative on its cover page. pic.twitter.com/zszPPH2tGI

Deleted that much-retweeted tweet. Was a mock up for first edition that has since changed. Carry on.

“Carry on”? Yeah, sure pal.
“Killer Cop,” however, was still being used on the NY Daily News’s website last night:
