I read this phrase: "I thought your essay about Internet WAS very accurate"

I wonder why the past tense is used in here! Doesn't it have to be: "I thought your essay about Internet IS very accurate"?

Thanks all in advance.

  • Clearly this is a prelude to something very bad. I thought your essay about the Internet was very accurate, but now I think it is total B.S. – Gary's Student Apr 19 '14 at 20:19
