Since The Post's cover yesterday was "ARAFAT DEAD and he wont be missed," it is pretty specious to claim that this is tabloid business-as-usual, or an acidental slip across the line of good taste. It is hateful, and divisive, and cruel.
FYI, a Village Voice article about The Daily News's and The Post's coverage of Arafat's illness & death.
