And on the cover of NY Newsday today they have a picture of 2 mangled cars where 3 people died.Headlines sell papers Randall and they're in the business of making money.That's why they do it.

That's a pretty cynical acceptance of this. See the difference is, the car crash "is" the story. A breakdown on BC is "a" story which absolutely needs to be told. But it doesn't need to be shown with a leg that badly damaged breaking the skin.

Randall,
I totally agree with you. That rag is shameless. It has been for many years.
They've published pictures of people jumping from buildings, mafia hits with dead human bodies, air crashes...on and on.
Shamless!
I'll never buy their paper. Their only "jounalism" is reliance on "shock".
Hopefully, this rag will go out of business soon. All we need do is stop buying their product.
They are certainly not doing anything to help build fan base for horse racing.
Boycott the Daily "News".
Toilet paper is cheaper and achieves the same results.
