I saw this happen in real time.

Not the first time that the WaPo did something like this.

The WaPo did something like this deceptive headline thing back in 2005, when the Islamic Saudi Academy's school bus had an accident -- and the driver was unlicensed and the bus without the required annual safety inspection sticker. This hanky panky on the part of the WaPo is one factor which made me start blogging in the first place.

And the NYT did something like this when Stalin died:

Stalin Rose From Czarist Oppression to Transform Russia Into Mighty Socialist State.

Here is some fun:

The Washington Post’s ridiculous headline for the death of al-Baghdadi inspires other #WaPoDeathNotices.

Enjoy!
