The Washington Post on Thanksgiving deleted their disgraceful tweet stating the "Waukesha tragedy" was "caused by a SUV." (Article by Chris Menahan republished from InformationLiberation.com) "We've deleted a previous tweet for this story that included language that was changed after publish," the Post said. The new tweet carries a similarly detached headline reading: "What we know so far on the sequence of events that led to the Waukesha tragedy." https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1463888204122267649?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1463888204122267649%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.informationliberation.com%2F%3Fid%3D62708 https://twitter.com/ScottMGreer/status/1463996756765679621?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1463996756765679621%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.informationliberation.com%2F%3Fid%3D62708 The Post's tweet received widespread mockery. https://twitter.com/TheBabylonBee/status/1463889625852825604?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1463889625852825604%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.informationliberation.com%2F%3Fid%3D62708 https://twitter.com/GPrime85/status/1463877198444736520?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1463877198444736520%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.informationliberation.com%2F%3Fid%3D62708 It has also spawned a new meme: https://twitter.com/digichud/status/1463880843160690689?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1463880843160690689%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.informationliberation.com%2F%3Fid%3D62708 Read more at: InformationLiberation.com
