We’re starting to think the Washington Post might have a problem:
The Washington Post gets the real story. Yeah, that's it! https://t.co/kVKRxU14nH pic.twitter.com/meEHcnFVnq

You guys.
What do you mean "castng them as scary and radical"? We're just describing the behavior.

No, you’re seizing!
Hey, at least we're getting a little painting in between bouts of seizing. https://t.co/Q9XKAp0bpm

Hey, that’s true.
It’s our fault for hearing what they said. We should probably apologize

It’s the least you can do.
What happened to “pounce?”

Oh, don’t worry — check out the print edition (yes, they still have one):
My mother still reads the print version of the Washington Post (bless her) and alerted me to this master-level “Republicans pounce” headline pic.twitter.com/pZwM2rdJkw

Amazing. pic.twitter.com/Z6gknQFEi3

So Republicans are both seizing and pouncing. Way to cover all your bases, WaPo.
I wonder if the editors at the Washington Post have any idea that such headlines have been an object of ridicule for years among conservatives. The focus, as always, is never the behavior of the left, only the reaction to it on the right. pic.twitter.com/m1QGIwmiPX

We’re officially in “beyond parody” territory now.
They're just trolling us, really.

The Press is literally trolling conservatives.

It's possible they're doing it to mess with you at this point.
— Kris Lytle (@krislytle) February 1, 2019
They may very well just be doing this to mess with conservatives. But if that’s the case, it only supports our contention that they’re unprofessional and entirely deserving of all the criticism thrown their way. They’re really working hard to earn that “Fake News” title.
