Well, at least they didn't describe the dead maniac as an "austere, religious scholar"
/New York Times Manages Worst Daniel Penny Headline Yet
Perhaps the Times should ask its readers for alternative headlines to describe the death of the Elvis impersonator who was promising to “kill you all”, as the Washington Post did in 2019 after the U.S. caught up with Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, notorious terrorist and head of IS, and sent him packing to meet his awaiting virgins. The WaPo’s editors’ own attempt at a headline, “austere religious scholar dies at 48” was applauded by conservatives, who contributed proposed headlines for other public figures:
"Adolf Hitler, dedicated art enthusiast, animal rights activist, and talented orator, dies at 56," read one.
"Ted Bundy, meticulous researcher, charismatic figure, and Polaroid enthusiast, dead at 42", read another, in reference to the infamous serial killer.
