New York Tabloids Really Went for Gold with Their Covers This Morning

I don’t think they could have gotten the words “JEW” or “GAY” any bigger:

The Post’s story is in reference to freelance American journalist Steven Sotloff, executed by ISIS earlier this week, who observed his Yom Kippur fasts while in captivity by faking illness; the “secret” part was kept secret at the behest of his family, who feared he would be in greater danger if the Islamic militants knew of his Judaism. Given the Post’s cover on James Foley’s beheading, perhaps this one is weak tea.

The Daily News’ story refers to the decision of NYC’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade organizers to finally include LGBT groups in the iconic march.
