PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS. Media hypocrisy in two screenshots: A tale of dueling Washington Post editorials.

As Jim Treacher tweets, good work, WaPo.

Speaking of the WaPo then and now, Glenn already linked to their headline this morning yesterday that “Once the hope candidate, Obama in his final days faces a hopeless electorate.”

Glenn linked to it under the headline of “Fundamentally Transformed,” but perhaps not entirely, which leads to a couple of questions: Americans have sure kept letting our poor, beleaguered president down a lot over the last eight years, haven’t we? And also, contra the claim that the Post made at the beginning of his administration, through its then-surrogate Newsweek, I guess we’re not all socialists now, huh?
