“Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, austere religious scholar at the helm of Islamic State, dies at 48”

This is the actual headline from the Washington Post before they changed it.

For the record, WaPo headline was “Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, austere religious scholar at the helm of Islamic State,” before they realised something was wrong and corrected it. pic.twitter.com/k6RbmPr5vs

Twitter pounces:

Oh they realized. Huh..what was so confusing to them that it took an epiphany to realize that they were describing a brutal terrorist who has beheaded Americans as a religious leader? Give us a break the WaPo knew exactly what they were printing.

Absolute lunacy by WaPo…when will they be held accountable for their interpretations of the facts?

Proving once again the the MSM are enemies of the people.

Enemy of the people??? With headlines like this and the fact that the @washingtonpost and others in the MSM have harsher criticism for The President of The United States than they do for the leader of ISIS, a known serial rapist and murderer, you really have to start to wonder!!! pic.twitter.com/JH448bCA7Y

I’M DISGUSTED! WHAT DISGRACE

The Washington Post called the ISIS leader a Religious Scholar instead of a Terrorist!

THEY SAY NASTY THINGS about our highly educated President @realDonaldTrump but Baghdadi is a Scholar to them?

The bigger question is why did the @washingtonpost feel the need to write an obituary for one of the most brutal terrorists the world has ever known?

Is it too much to say that they are mourning the death of the world’s #1 terrorist over at the @washingtonpost ? pic.twitter.com/Fo1dGBQecp

If a newspaper defends an enemy of the American people, would that make that publication an enemy of the American people? https://t.co/9ipwzhOeJ3

Praying for the recovery of our heroic military K-9 and the continuation of the @washingtonpost being relentlessly mocked and insulted for glorifying terrorists.

This is disgusting! This is why @realDonaldTrump says the msm is the enemy of the people! @washingtonpost needs to be closed down! #alBaghdadi #Baghdadi #iSupport45 pic.twitter.com/lhtM2Uc6yU

The dead coward Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi has no religious authority. As a Muslim, I demand @washingtonpost apologize to all Muslims & victims worldwide. Clarify Baghdadi was no legitimate religious authority. He is scum who killed kids while running & crying as U.S. forces chased him pic.twitter.com/1Nw033Pw4N

Calling him an “austere religious scholar” instead of brutal rapist/murderer and evil suggests that the Washington Post has lost its collective mind – ask Jim Foley and Kayla Mueller’s parents what they think about this headline https://t.co/964HMzBou2

Baghdadi was big on torture, rape, child and female sex trafficking, and slavery.

Your ‘woke’ @washingtonpost seems to have missed all that in your headlines @kriscoratti.
