Washington Post Cartoonist resigns

 As the N.Y. Times reported:

"Ann Telnaes, a Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist for The Washington Post, said on Friday evening that she was resigning after the newspaper’s opinions section rejected a cartoon depicting The Post’s owner, Jeff Bezos, genuflecting toward a statue of President-elect Donald J. Trump.

In a brief statement posted to Substack, Ms. Telnaes — who has worked at The Post since 2008 — called the newspaper’s decision to kill her cartoon a “game changer" that was “dangerous for a free press.”

FULL STORY is HERE.

A cartoon depicts several people, including some resembling Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Sam Altman and Patrick Soon-Shiong, kneeling and holding up bags of money at the feet of a statue that resembles Donald Trump, while Mickey Mouse is prostrated alongside them.
