Without intended irony, I read about Ann Telnaes’s resignation in the NY Times.
Ann Telnaes is an award-winning, highly-regarded political cartoonist. I’d long cut ties with the Washington Post as Jeff Bezos, the WaPo owner, revealed his colors and moved away from being a supporter of responsible, trustworthy journalism. (I keep ties with the NY Times mostly for the cultural information but they don’t inspire me with their journalism, either.)
The NYT story, by Benjamin Miller, said that Ann Telnaes resigned after her cartoon was rejected. She accurately portrayed Bezos and other billionaires genuflecting at a statue of PINO-elect Trump. Bezos, who would not let the newspaper endorse Kamala Harris, didn’t like cartoon, demonstrating once and for all, that man cannot handle the truth.
And Ann Telnaes called it right.

She had to know she would get backlash by including Bezos. Nevertheless, I totally support both the cartoon and her resignation!! I highly doubt she will have problems finding other employment.

I believe the same about the backlash and wouldn’t be surprised if she did that deliberately to make a point.

Andy Borowitz ran a piece today that included the cartoon, encouraging everyone to share it. Here’s the link:

It reminds me of a more sedate version of the old Twitter, perhaps because they’re moderating better, combined with people self-moderating because they don’t want to turn it into something like the old Twitter. Layout, etc., is similar to Twitter — and to Mastodon, for that matter.

The suppression of critical thinking is horrible.

Yes, and it’s such a critical and cynical facet of GOP plans.
