Not ironically, the NY Post is just as bad as the Daily Mail.
On the day of the bombing, they were reporting that the bomber had already been arrested. The day after the bombing, they had a picture on their cover of a backpack that was supposedly the bomb... except it wasn't. Today, they had a picture of two middle eastern looking people, who had nothing to do with the bombing. This is par the course for the NY Post.
My favorite though, is when I used to do political work, the NY Post would show up to large events, set up a quick photoshoot with paid actors, then leave, and whatever they staged a picture of would be the next day's front page.
In cases such as this, I can't help but wonder if the person in the picture has a strong legal case of libel and defamation against the publisher. Maybe it's just wishful thinking, and maybe it's just my personality but if a newspaper tried to ruin my life just to sell newspapers, I'd 'lawyer up' with the intent of owning that newspaper when it was all said and done.

Ironically NY Post was one of the "news" sources driving up the hysteria and publishing these photos.
