Newsweek published on Monday what appears to be a photograph of the late Martin Luther King Jr. taken in his casket, a breach of numerous journalistic tenets.
The outrageous decision to publish the photo was already setting off angry responses on Twitter and elsewhere.
The photo was accompanied by the text: “Has anybody seen my old friend Martin?”
So @Newsweek thought posting MLK in his casket was a smart move… Welcome to 2018 smh pic.twitter.com/WM8UIfqkNa
