Right - after the screed passed through several editors before being passed on to print????
No, it was “written by an idiot”.
Who became a journalist.
And checked by another idiot.
Who is leading other journalists.
Go figure.
“written in haste”. Yeah...ok. They forgot to add that he loved puppies, flossed every night and was a member of the ISIS Rotary.
I don’t believe that for a second.
To Hell with the WaPoo.
Imo, it was fully noticed and approved by the notorious propaganda outlet.

Maybe he was an austere religions scholar and that bloodthirsty, sadistic monster part was just a hobby? </sarcasm>

Joker, Thanos, and Darth Vader Get Hilarious Parody Obituaries After Controversial Headline About Dead ISIS Leader

More like trial balloon. “Let’s see if we can get this narrative past the people who read this rag...”
Even “extremist” hides the truth, he was a cold-blooded killer responsible for the death of thousands.
Yes indeed written in haste, right after their Shadow President told them to write it.
written in haste ? What were they in a hurry to accomplish? Should have just written “Orange Man Bad”.
If Trump had been prez when we were fighting the Nazis and Japanese, the WAPO would have had favorable opinions of Hitler and Tojo.
The “Washington Post” is nothing more than a collection of like minded globalist/socialists who at their core hate America and its heritage. They own a printing press and have a megalomaniac, guilt ridden, multi-billionaire who seeks gravitas to fund their fantasies. In a just world they will eventually be held accountable for their crimes against the American people.
I believe it only appeared on the web version not the print version. A night editor on the weekend could miss this, and it was only up for a few minutes.
The real question is who actually WROTE the headline. That person is the problem here. That person made a conscious decision to frame the nature person who died in that way. To do so is an act so subversive of reality that to say the person hates America is probably an accurate conclusion.
Journalists ?
Hardly.
Too late, unwashed compost. You are not putting the toothpaste back into that tube.
“The Post originally described him in a headline as the “Islamic State’s ‘terrorist-in-chief,’”
Why didn’t they go back to that headline instead of “extremist leader of Islamic State”?
