Today, the New York Daily posted an article about Anthony Weiner’s 15-year-old sexting target:
Teen whom Anthony Weiner sexted says renewed Clinton email probe floored her: "Come on, who’s in charge of America?" https://t.co/wxa8lWBJCl pic.twitter.com/4liJ5y2sxO

Only that wasn’t the original headline they went with. Here’s what they tweeted out earlier:

Sexting what?
@NYDailyNews pal?

@NYDailyNews Pal?

Teen. Sexting. Pal. https://t.co/568OkPxDfC

So, someone at the Daily News wised up eventually and deleted the original tweet, but not before people took notice of their incredibly awful phrasing.
Oh, hey @NYDailyNews, you're perpetuating this "fault on both sides" shit IN YOUR COVERAGE. She's a pedator's victim, not a "sexting pal." pic.twitter.com/5JEJzxIu8v

@NYDailyNews amazing. A (D) after your name makes your 15 year old victim a "pal"

.@NYDailyNews "teen sexting pal" – Is that the new leftwing euphemism for "pedophile's underage victim"?

@NYDailyNews pal? Who the fuck edits this garbage? I'd like that job

"Pal?" She was 15. She was a victim. https://t.co/i6wDHitHCo

@NYDailyNews pal? More like his victim. You guys are fucked in the head.

@NYDailyNews texting "PAL"??????? You mean underage girl victim right? Youre sick

To @NYDailyNews , the 15 y.o that Weiner preyed upon was not a "victim" but just a "pal"
Disgustinghttps://t.co/0qYZYp6w88— ROAR. E. (@baaklini2) November 2, 2016
She was 15. FIFTEEN YEARS OLD. NYDN refers to her as Weiner's "Teen sexting pal".
This is abhorrent. Don't click their links. https://t.co/YmJXgJVlHS

Now, it’s worth noting that the New York Post also went the abhorrent “sexting pal” route:
They also threw in a “sexting gal,” just for good measure:
What is wrong with these people?
