This one is for real, from Wikipedia:

"Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin[b] (born Ioseb Besarionis dze Jughashvili;[a] 18 December [O.S. 6 December] 1878[1] – 5 March 1953) was a Georgian revolutionary and Soviet politician who led the Soviet Union from the mid–1920s until 1953 as General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (1922–1952) and Premier (1941–1953). Despite initially governing the Soviet Union as part of a collective leadership, he eventually consolidated power to become the country’s de facto dictator by the 1930s. A communist ideologically committed to the Leninist interpretation of Marxism, Stalin formalised these ideas as Marxism–Leninism, while his own policies are known as Stalinism."

Somehow, in a deranged quest to appear impartial, the opening paragraph comes off as factual, but comically euphemistic. The only slightly negative connotations can be gleaned from a few words; "dictator" "communist" and perhaps "power". But to a socialist, even those words are probably not particularly offensive. (They are to ME, though!)

I am surprised it didn't read "heroic and fearless revolutionary, former seminarian, architectural innovator, WW2 Ally, and lover of children" somewhere in the article.

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.
