The story is fine. The graphic, apparently, isn’t.
On Friday, the New York Post ran a story about Betsy Gotbaum, which included an image of Gotbaum’s face on top of a baby’s body.
Today, when the City Council press office distributed a clips packet to members, they included that July 3, 2009 story, but edited the image.
Above is a photocopy of the news story as distributed by the Council’s press office, and forwarded to me by a reader.
