Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Democracy Now!

NY Post Under Fire for Headline on San Bernardino Shooting

HeadlineDec 04, 2015

The New York Post is facing criticism after it changed its front-page headline on the San Bernardino mass shooting from “Murder Mission” to “Muslim Killers,” after the suspects were identified as Muslims. The early edition of Thursday’s Post read: “Shooters slaughter 14 in California.” By the afternoon, after police identified the suspects as Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik, the subheadline had changed to “Terror eyed as couple slaughters 14 in California.” The change came as Assistant FBI Director David Bowdich said, “We do not yet know the motive.”
