Ed Miliband got this treatment, to a lesser degree. If under his leadership, Labour lost an election, he was a disaster. If they won, he was still a disaster, because either the win wasn't by a big enough margin or another party had increased its vote share.
Even the Mirror this morning was reporting the 'massive reduced majority' line. The backpedal (if it happens at all) over the weekend will be interesting.
For me, just more proof that print media is hopelessly out of date. The actual result was the lead item on news bulletins this morning, and people will be reading contradictory headlines over their toast.
"There ain't nothing you fear more than a bad headline, is there? You'd rather live in shit than let the world see you work a shovel."
