Following the elimination of ISIS’s top leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, one of America’s most notoriously left-wing papers rushed to portray the now-deceased terrorist mastermind in a way that seemed like many to be sickeningly positive.
“Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, austere religious scholar at helm of Islamic State, dies at 48,” the since-deleted headline from The Washington Post reads.
As of noon Sunday, the headline had been updated, though evidence of the paper’s stunning decision to portray the terrorist leader as a “scholar” remains: [tweet]

Reminds me of an obituary in the local rag many years back. Guy was killed in a shoot out with police.
Obit appears in the paper a couple days later, "(Name) died after a brief illness. " Yeah, acute lead poisoning.

Yes - - an austere religious scholar - - just like Pope Benedict.
Yes - - exactly like Pope Benedict. A fine man who died too young.

I agree, OP.
This is one more outrage against our Republic. The WaaaahPoop must no longer (actually, long past) have the moniker "NEWSpaper". It is not. It is a fraud.
The editorial boards of many, many news organizations have abdicated the once noble work of trying to search out the facts and to be as objective as humanly possible. This is now rampant. It's everywhere
Now imagine: every television news outlet, EXCEPT Fox, highlighted "Russia Russia" and "Mueller Mueller Mueller", did NOT engage in any investigative joiurnalism.
The truth is, they didn't care much about investigating events during BO's two terms.
So journalistic malfeasance is actually the new standard. They've created a sort of intellectual super massive black hole. They have lived in a cesspool of lies, they can't see their way out.
And this goes for the Dem Congress, Dems in both Chambers, the punditry, entertainment. They are an amalgamation of prevarication, duplicity, perversion, venality, greed, arrogance and seditiousness.
It truly is sickening.

A few replies to this, from people more clever than me:
(from Powerline comments)
"Adolf Hitler, Austrian vegan activist and landscape painter, dies at 56."
"John Wayne Gacy, children’s party clown, dead at age 52."
"Osama Bin Laden, spiritual leader and architect of lower Manhattan urban revitalization projects, dead at 54."
"Jeffrey Dahmer, amateur chef with a flair for exotic cuisine, dies at 34."
"Josef Mengele, famed Jewish clinic medical researcher, dies at 67."
"Adolf Hitler, lampshade maker, sought living space for German people dies in solitude."
WaPo: "Las Vegas Country Music Festival ends with fireworks."
"Joseph Goebbels, noted public relations expert for a one time rapidly expanding national organization dies of sudden gastric attack at age 47."
"Generous Scholarly Jim Jones Opens Kool aide Stand In South America just before dying."

"Dirigible settles in New Jersey"
"Bystanders roast marshmallows..."
"The traitorous Washington Compost gives aid and comfort to the enemy, even when he's dead."
"With the end of Big Daddy, Trump dismantles the remainder of Obama's legacy."
"Even after the 3rd variation they used the verb "dies". "To die" means, generally, to "pass away", to "expire" or some other peaceful and serene description of leaving this life. To apply such a sterile, inaccurate description of what happened is deceitful. When one "dies" it doesn't include blowing up three children simultaneously with you. It is intellectually dishonest to say he "died" when he deliberately killed 3 children with him.”

WaPo is still showing their love for jihadis. They just can't get over Barry & the Butcher, can they?
