I'll just let the New York Daily News guest post today with their front page:
Matt of All Trades blog, like the title suggests, is by a Vermont author and offers offbeat musings on pop culture, media, journalism, humor, weirdness, stupid people, smart people, my life as a journalist, landscaper, photographer, married gay man, dog lover and weather geek and more. It's run by me, Matt Sutkoski, a native Vermonter living in St. Albans, Vt.

Idiotic Couple Mocks Eric Garner During News Report
![]() |
| Today's New York Daily News Front Page was graphic, but much more tasteful than an idiotic couple mugging for the cameras behind a journalist reporting on this. |
The couple in question were two of those types of idiots who make goofy gestures in the background as a television reporter gives a live update.
In this case, WPIX-TV reporter Allison Kaden was giving an update on demonstrators near the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree, which had its lighting ceremony Wednesday evening.
That lighting ceremony happened as demonstrations continued across New York City and elsewhere against a grand jury decision in which a New York cop was not indicted despite fatally choking Eric Garner.
That move was caught on videotape as police tried to arrest Garner on suspicion of illegally selling cigarettes.
Anyway, Kaden was giving her update on the demonstrations and the tree lighting, when a couple moved into position behind Kaden and on camera, the guy cartoonishly pretended to choke the woman, who cartoonishly reacted by waving her arms and faking a scream
What a classy couple. I'm sure they thought they were hilarious.
The Internet is pretty unforgiving, and I'm sure this couple will be identified soon, and all hell will break out. They'll get death threats, lots of flame, lots of harassment on line and elsewhere.
No, this couple doesn't deserve death threats or harassment. But shame on them!
The video of this moronic couple is below, but to soften this up, I also posted an image of the excellent New York Daily News front page today which uses Garner's last words "I can't breathe!" as he was being choked by the cop.
Here's the stupid couple video:

Most Blunt News Headline Ever: N.Y. Daily News And Congressional "Turds"
Tell us how you really feel, New York Daily News!
There's widespread disgust with Congress with the shutdown and the failure to do their job and all that.
I saw a poll yesterday that shows Americans like Vladimir Putin more than they like Congress. The sour, dour Putin gets a 19 percent approval rating while the Congressional approval rate is 10 percent.
I'd like to know who the 10 percent who like Congress. I haven't met any of them lately.
Today's New York Daily News cover, though, as you can see by the image in this post, takes the disgust with Congress to a new level.
So what do you think of the Daily News cover? Does it take things too far? Tell the truth? Prod people or Congress into action? Something else? Other opinions? I want to hear them. Just for fun, I guess
