A day after excoriating Congress with a powerful “Shame on U.S.” front cover that took the U.S. Senate to task for removing the assault weapons ban from the larger gun reform bill, the New York Daily News is keeping pressure on DC. You might call this unrelenting, unfettered advocacy journalism. CHECK ALL THIS OUT HERE.
Unflinchingly meta, but unflinching all the same. HV’s right. Great advocacy journalism.

That’s an awfully flip treatment of a crime-free day, New York Daily News. Take away their vanity fonts!
‘Slam Drunk’
In which Jason Kidd is reminded of why being a sports star in NYC isn’t the easiest job title — and why the NY Post and Daily News should call each other before using the same headline.
Front page, New York Daily News, Sunday 25 September 2011.
(via the Newseum)
Although the headline’s a little tasteless, it’s certainly less tasteless than the New York Post’s cover, which doesn’t even cover Occupy Wall Street, but instead gives Sly Stone a bit of a blindsiding headline.
Tom McGeveran in today’s The Front: A choice between observing Weiner’s humiliation and compounding it
Wow, The Daily News actually held back on being total jerks. On a side note, WHEN DID THE NEWSEUM bring back their watermarks? *grumble*
Today in newspaper front pages that remind you of the importance of tabloid journalism sometimes. The New York Daily News had a similar idea but with worse execution. (On a side note, Newseum, where we grabbed this page from, finally took the watermarks off their front pages — hopefully for good. We hope our campaign helped change their minds. We’d still like to see newspapers consider releasing their front pages under a Creative Commons license.) source
Sideshow Don is grinning: The ever-outrageous New York Daily News had some fun with the war of words between Donald Trump and David Plouffe (or, really, between Trump and anyone/thing affiliated with Barack Obama). At least it’s a smiling picture? (EDIT: The cutout of Trump’s hair is easily the worst we’ve ever seen.) source
Because it’s the Knicks, we’ll give this treatment of the Libya coverage a pass. They’ve had a rough decade.
