The Washington Post's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week thefederalist.com/2019/11/01/the…
It started Sunday with a bizarre obituary for the world’s most wanted terrorist, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Someone decided the original headline that labeled Baghdadi a “terrorist-in-chief” needed to be sugar-coated and changed to “austere religious scholar at helm of Islamic State.”
On Monday, the judge who previously threw out Covington Catholic teen Nick Sandmann’s $250 million defamation lawsuit against the Washington Post reversed course and reinstated the case after reviewing an amended complaint.
Later that day, Washington Post opinion writer Max Boot churned out another offensive terrorist take, insinuating blowing up three children with a suicide vest proves ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was not a coward.
On Tuesday, Washington Post editors, who love to write about the importance of a free press and the First Amendment, green-lighted an op-ed calling for government censorship via hate speech laws.
And as if one bizarre op-ed wasn’t enough for Tuesday, the Post also published a piece by Democrat Lanny Davis and Republican Anthony Scaramucci arguing for the impeachment of Trump without a Senate trial.
On Wednesday, the Post’s “conservative” columnist Jennifer Rubin took a beatdown from CBS News journalist Jan Crawford after Rubin smarted off with disparaging comments about Trump’s judicial nominees.
Rubin tweeted links digging up something Judge Neomi Rao wrote in college.

Thursday, ahead of the testimony, senior political reporter Aaron Blake reported that Morrison would confirm acting U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Bill Taylor’s account that Trump appeared to seek a quid pro quo. In fact, the opposite happened.
Another headline from the Post on Thursday read, “Trump judicial nominee cries over scathing letter from American Bar Association.” What the Post conveniently left out was that VanDyke’s lead ABA evaluator is Marcia Davenport, who has a history of politically opposing VanDyke.
Lastly, the Post did not want to get left out of Thursday’s action in which the entire White House press corps committed to debunking the “doctored” photo Trump tweeted of the Special Forces dog that chased down terrorist al-Baghdadi. Trump trolled them all...LOL

Finally, to top its banner week off, the Post ran a glitzy profile of Congressman Adam Schiff in the “Style” section, fawning over how his dreams of becoming a screenplay writer have transitioned into becoming “the chief storyteller of this drama-filled political moment.”

Of course Schiff is more than a storyteller. He’s a corrupt liar and has been spinning his stories of collusion on CNN for three years now, and more recently has even implicated himself in his own web of lies.
Rep. John Ratcliffe, R-Texas, told The Federalist, “Schiff is using his authority as a chairman presiding over an impeachment inquiry to prevent the investigation and discovery of facts about his own actions or the actions of his staff.”
