Every time a politician passes away whom the media didn't agree with the headlines are always bad. We won't go into detail but the headlines after Justice Scalia passed were abysmal, much like this headline from POLITICO about Senator Inhofe's death.
This is who they really are:
"This guy died but he deserved it bc he didn't believe in climate change"

Classy, right?
Welp, after they started getting some pushback for their disrespectful and quite frankly CRAP headline, they changed it. Not because they realized it was really horrible to write such a nasty headline about a man who just passed, but because the reaction to it was so bad.
This was not about them doing what was right.
This was about them covering their own backsides.
Hi @POLITICOPro @politico why did you change the headline? Thought we wouldn’t notice? pic.twitter.com/spmR7euMxl

Something like that.

Oh look, New York Times did the same thing.
Shocker.
What a bunch of a-holes.
You expected better from Politico?? They’re not capable of any better. They’re wazoo apertures.

This is one of the cases where the mistake is thinking he's embarrassed by it. This was what he was best known for at his peak! He was very proud of it!

The irony.
Disgusting but to be expected from Politico.

But to be expected from the mainstream media.
