We're starting to understand why the Washington Post had to lay off hundreds of people ...
Please do not take this as our cheering people losing their jobs, although we are sure they would be quite happy if we lost ours, we're not quite there just yet. Although, with copy like this one?
Yeah, this is bad.
Bethany Mandel was quick to call them out.
Bethany S. Mandel (@bethanyshondark) ~ Interesting choice of words from Washington Post - “detained.” 🤔
They're not being detained.
They're being HELD HOSTAGE, WaPo.
No ... it's even worse than that. They were forcibly kidnapped at gunpoint and are now held hostage.
Bethany S. Mandel (@bethanyshondark) ~ Well that was fast.
EL OH EL.
That's too damn funny.
And too little too late.
Kolam (@IsraeliNU) ~
Yep ... because this was VERY intentional on The WaPo's part and they wouldn't of dreamed of correcting it if someone had not called them out on it. They're sleazebags.
Cecelia (@Ceceliaism) ~ However much you hate the mainstream media, it's not enough.
This has truly become a theme.
John William Sherrod (@jwsherrod) ~ There are no words for how evil it was to use the word “detained” instead of “kidnapped.”
Hank (@HankRacette) ~ It is impressive how hard they work to spin even this monstrous event as somehow less awful than it was.
When you realize they're working really hard to protect the terrorists, sadly it all lines up.
O Honey, Bless Your Heart (@mirabiledictu86) ~ It puts me to mind of when the Lindbergh baby was detained.
Detained.
