The Washington Post is no stranger to controversy surrounding their decisions over what to put on the front page, with their "democracy dies in darkness" masthead, which debuted a month into Donald Trump's first term in office, raising eyebrows and providing further evidence of their already well-documented left-wing bias.

Back in late January, the paper was ripped in the immediate aftermath of the horrific mid-air military helicopter/commercial plane collision that took place near Ronald Reagan National Airport, which killed 67 people. The day after the tragedy, they relegated it to a small, below-the-fold, "if you blink you'll miss it" story under five or six hit pieces about the Trump administration.

As media critic Joe Concha observed at the time, "This not only is the worst airline tragedy in many years, but it happened *in* Washington. And this is what the editors decided to go with???"

And now, on Memorial Day weekend, one of the most solemn and sacred American holidays of the year, the Washington Post is under fire yet again for who and what they decided would grace their front page.

It was... George Floyd and accused MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia:

On this Memorial Day Weekend, the Washington Post is featuring - on their front page - their heroes Kilmar Abrego Garcia and St. George Floyd. Surprised they left out their boy Luigi Mangione. pic.twitter.com/sECbeCW3Kl

"No mention of the United States military anywhere on the front page," Plante went on to note.

To be fair, they did run some Memorial Day-themed pieces over the last three days, like one they did on a WWII aviator who died 81 years ago and who is just now returning home:

On Memorial Day, 2nd Lt. Thomas V. Kelly Jr. will be buried beside his family in Livermore, California.

The burial is the culmination of a 12-year search by his relatives and others. https://t.co/CLzlAUSdrK

They also published an opinion piece about Memorial Day by columnist George Will:

This Memorial Day, spare a thought for the nation’s fallen in overseas military cemeteries, @GeorgeWill writes. https://t.co/yTPcgmW2Z2

But the only thing I've seen on the front page about Memorial Day as of this writing was a mere link they provided to stories written by six military veterans on what the day meant to them. 

There was no commentary directly from the editorial board about the day, and certainly nothing on the front page that denoted that this particular Monday was special and different from most other days of the year - something that got the seal of approval from former Sen. Bernie Sanders spokesman Vincent Morris:

A little Springsteen-style "Resistance" flavoring was thrown into the mix as well, because of course:

Just pathetic, but entirely par for the course for the Washington Post.
