This death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi marked a monumental victory for mankind. We eliminated a brutal murderer, rapist and madman from causing more unspeakable harm to men, women and children. His death also highlighted how corrupt mainstream media has become, which should alarm every American.
Take The Washington Post's headline last Sunday following Baghdadi's death. Instead of accurately saying, for example, that the Islamic State leader was responsible for a terror movement that brutally murdered tens of thousands of innocent people, set human beings on fire in cages and beheaded Americans -- while fueling a mass refugee crisis -- the newspaper described the evil murderer as an "austere religious scholar at helm of Islamic State," a deceptive whitewashing of his heinous crimes against humanity.
"Boy, they've lost their way," U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said of the newspaper during an interview this week on Fox News' "The Story with Martha MacCallum."
"It was sick to do that," Pompeo continued. "This is a man who killed hundreds." Al-Baghdadi also tortured and raped Kayla Mueller, a young American humanitarian aid worker taken captive by ISIS in Syria in 2013. She was later killed.
There was also no mention in the Post's headline about another American, James Foley -- who was beheaded by the extremist group -- the homosexuals thrown off rooftops or the genocide inflicted upon thousands of Yazidis in northern Iraq, whose women and children were abducted by Islamic State militants and forced into sex slavery.
