Heh - that was then, this is now

Nothing to see here folks - just keep moving. Two views of the same page at The Washington Post:

First - captured by Buck Sexton's twitter account:

And now, from a few moments ago - The Washington Post:

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, extremist leader of Islamic State, dies at 48
When Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi took the reins of the Islamic State of Iraq in 2010, few had heard of the organization or its new leader, then an austere religious scholar with wire-frame glasses and no known aptitude for fighting and killing.

But just four years later, Mr. Baghdadi had helped transform his failing movement into one of the most notorious, vicious and — for a time — successful terrorist groups of modern times. Under his guidance it would burst into the public consciousness as the Islamic State, an organization that would seize control of entire cities in Iraq and Syria and become a byword for shocking brutality.

Still fawning over the corpse, just fawning light. Hey Jeff Bezos - Walter Duranty called, he wants his bias back.
