As we told you over the weekend, the Associated Press was shamed into doing some backpedaling after a tweet about the death of George H.W. Bush:
We’ve deleted a tweet and revised a story on the death of President George H.W. Bush because the tweet and the opening of the story referenced his 1992 electoral defeat and omitted his WWII service.

That's ok. Here's your snarky, biased tweet saved for posterity – so we can compare and contrast when President Obama passes and see what you write about what happened to the economy & the fate of the Democrat Party nationwide under his reign. pic.twitter.com/XuZPWwl71E

The Babylon Bee encapsulated the whole embarrassment in perfect fashion:

The parody tweet is nicer than what @AP actually said about H.W. https://t.co/N8hULC9Lf8
