NY Times Front-Page Penny Smear: ‘Jury Acquits Man Who Was Choking Rider on Subway’
12th December 2024
Check out the headline and lead sentence of the front-page story on the Daniel Perry acquittal in Tuesday’s New York Times, “Jury Acquits Man Who Was Choking Rider On Subway Cleared of Homicide — Split Reaction in a Case Reflecting Tensions in New York City,” by Hurubie Meko and Anusha Bayya.
Yes, a man just randomly choked an innocent subway “rider” in New York City — not a loud, threatening disruptor with a long criminal record who posed a potentially deadly threat to other passengers.
The lead was no better. Again what a bizarre way to describe Daniel Penny’s brave subduing of Jordan Neely.
