Washington Post Prints Blatantly False Article: 'Barack Obama, Conservative'

Washington Post Prints Blatantly False Article: 'Barack Obama, Conservative'
By Tim Graham | November 24, 2019 11:39 AM EST

The front of Sunday's Outlook section in The Washington Post is a complete spit take. There in bold type is the blatantly false headline "Barack Obama, conservative."

David Swerdlick is an employee of the Post's Outlook section, so this isn't some freakish freelancer. At first glance, this article seems like an obvious ploy to explain away just how radical the current crop of Democratic presidential candidates are by comparison. Here's the thesis:

    “This is still a country that is less revolutionary than it is interested in improvement.”

Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

When a party embraces the absence of absolutes, then adjectives like conservative or liberal have no meaning as they are not compared to anything except each other.

And someone like Obama can indeed be deemed conservative compared to raving lunatics like AOC.

We should all realize that this is tongue in cheek click-bait which is intended to cause uproar both on the Left and the Right.
Nobody in their right mind could take this seriously at face value.

1. Tim Graham is a writer for Newsbusters, not the WashPost. David Swerdlick is the WashPost writer who wrote that silliness.

2. Neither the WashPost nor Newsbusters are clickbait sites in the ordinary sense of the term.

If the Post honestly believes that Obama is conservative...it clearly shows how off the rails and how far out to the left the Progressives really are these days.
