WHERE’S CASEY STENGEL WHEN YOU NEED HIM? The Washington Post changed their headline on the death of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi THREE times:
First, he was “terrorist-in-chief”. Then he was “an austere religious scholar”. (I doubt the Post will disclose the conversations that led to that). Now it reads “extremist leader.”
Another self-inflicted legacy media wound. Keep blaming “dumb people”, “privileged white men, “deplorables”, Trump…anyone but themselves.
Can’t anybody here play this game?
