This is dishonorable to a great man. Why the hell are they selecting a shot of him old, sick and sad looking for their front page??? Mr Benson deserves much better than this. He was a man with an incredibly fun spirit, and their image to sell is a decrepit depressed geriatric. No wonder this paper has gone to shite.






Yo TP, don't you think something like this would've been a better celebration of him?






or this?







or this?







Is it too much to ask that you represent a happy man with a happy image?


Thanks,
MDS

The Times Pic is a failed irrelevant rag.

TP has had bad coverage of Benson ever since he called out the Newhouses and asked them to sell him the paper to keep it delievered 7 days a week.

Nailed it! That's what is so despicable about this. This is clearly an intended hit piece. In the first sentence they have to call him "polarizing owner."

frick you TP. Go EAD and choke

I don’t think it’s that big of a deal - TP is irrelevant anyway and the headlines and story are okay. Pic is the best but whatever - they do it to Trump all the time

So a picture of him waving to portray the message of farewell is a bad pic?

I mean, sure, a celebratory pic like you posted would have been nice too, but I understand what they were trying to convey here.

The TP, Nola.com, and New Orleans Advocate are all equivalent to CNN.

Liberal wormholes.

Am I the only one who doesn’t see an issue with the picture?

You made it sound like the Times-Picayune posted a pic on his deathbed.

I agree they could have used a better pic, but I wouldn't call it "dishonorable."

I didn't think the picture was bad. At least he was all dressed up in his black and gold.
