How the NY Post covers a cyclist killed in their own backyard vs how the post covers a fender bender 600 miles away when it allows them to play into this week’s racist panic.

A NYPost headline that reads “Citi Bike rider dies in NYC crash with beer truck”
An NYPost headline that reads “Haitian motorist making illegal turn in Springfield, Ohio, smashes into mom driving with autistic daughter”

The ridiculousness of this story is amplified by the obnoxiously huge pick up being driven by the “victim” and the hero shot of mom standing next to her obnoxiously huge pick up showing the point of impact with zero damage.

Super good that this is now the paper with the largest readership that makes endorsements in local elections. Great work NYTimes.

You could write a paper on just the decision to frame the Citi Bike rider as the agent in the headline where he dies and the motorist the agent in the headline when he’s Haitian. Why wasn’t the first headline written “NYC Beer Truck Driver Smashes into Citi Bike Rider”? We know

Autism isn't like... I mean. It's not some horrible disease. You just might act a bit weird. I'm not sure of the relevance here other than to frame this in the most racist way possible. *is autistic*

The complete lack of self-awareness it takes to run this photo of this woman next to her ChildCrusher 3000 and act like she was endangered
