New York Worst

Remember when the media -- including the New York Post -- piled on CBS and MTV for triggering the downfall of civilization by showing a glimpse of Janet Jackson's nipple?

The Post published a far more damaging photo on its front page this morning. The issue, available at L.A. newsstands, reprints a shot of NYU student Diana Chien comitting suicide by jumping from an apartment building.

I won't reprint it here -- why, that would be hypocritical of me while calling the Post hypocritical in the same breath! -- but Gothamist has a copy of the cover and some interesting analysis here.
