WaPo quietly edits unflattering Nancy Reagan obituary

The Washington Post has quietly updated its obituary for Nancy Reagan, who passed away this weekend in her home in Los Angeles, after the piece drew criticism for being too harsh on the former first lady.

Stealth edits of this sort are commonplace, and the obituary, which was prepared years in advance of Reagan’s passing, was simply updated to include additional information, the Post’s executive editor Martin Baron told the Washington Examiner’s media desk.
