WashPost Obit: a kinder and gentler Democrat paper that showed us the Democrat perspective was the light, the truth and the American Way.

I think that it’s hilarious that the WaPo is so myopic that the adults (if any) there can’t see that it has become a laughingstock.

They need to add “Al-Baghdadi died in darkness ...”

“This was an opus, not an obituary.”

Agree.
FWIW, I don’t think WaPo should even publish an obituary. A news story of cold hard facts —he’s dead, here’s how it happened— would suffice.
The phrase “successful terrorist” pretty much blew my mind. Unreal.
