The Washington Post has once again exposed its anti-American bias by publishing a disgraceful obituary that portrays Iran's dead dictator Ali Khamenei as some kind of misunderstood intellectual who was "fond of Persian poetry."

After the brutal Supreme Leader was eliminated in joint U.S.-Israeli military strikes on Saturday, the Post's obituary read more like a love letter than an honest assessment of one of the world's most dangerous terrorists.

This is the same Ali Khamenei who spent decades funding terrorism across the Middle East, calling for "Death to America," and oppressing his own people - especially women who dared to remove their hijabs. But according to the Post, what we should really remember is his appreciation for literature.

Legacy Media Covers for America's Enemies

The obituary is a perfect example of how the mainstream media consistently provides cover for America's enemies while attacking President Trump and conservatives at every turn. Where was this sympathetic treatment when Rush Limbaugh died? Or when any conservative leader passes away?

Patriots on social media were quick to call out the Post's shameful propaganda. "This is the same newspaper that called Trump supporters 'semi-fascists' but thinks the Iranian dictator was just a poetry enthusiast," one user posted.

The strikes that took out Khamenei represent a major victory for the Trump-Vance administration's "peace through strength" doctrine. While President Trump hasn't commented directly on the operation, his administration has made it clear that Iran's days of terrorizing the region with impunity are over.

Double Standard on Full Display

The Post's glowing obituary stands in stark contrast to how they cover American patriots and conservative leaders. Remember how they savaged Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia's legacy? Or their constant attacks on Trump family members?

But when it comes to a brutal dictator who chanted "Death to America" and funded Hamas terrorists, suddenly the Post discovers nuance and humanity.

This is exactly why Americans have lost trust in legacy media outlets like the Washington Post. They're more interested in protecting America's enemies than telling the truth to their own readers.

How can any patriotic American take the Post seriously when they're literally writing fan fiction about dead terrorists?

As someone who served in the Middle East, this makes my blood boil. I've seen firsthand the suffering this regime has caused. The Post should be ashamed of themselves for whitewashing a tyrant's legacy.

Thank you for your service. My husband deployed there twice and feels the same way.

Why are we even surprised at this point? The WaPo has been carrying water for America's enemies for years now.

I'm genuinely curious - do they not have editors who review this stuff before publishing? How does something like this even make it to print? The Iranian people deserve so much better than this kind of propaganda disguised as journalism.

Absolutely disgraceful! The Washington Post has completely lost any credibility they had left. How can they possibly write a glowing obituary for a brutal dictator who oppressed his own people for decades?

They've been in the tank for anti-American regimes for years now. This is just the latest example.

Remember how they covered Castro's death? Same playbook every time.

This is exactly why mainstream media is dying. They can't even call evil what it is anymore.
