WAPO first fires you, then censors the paper's second-best cartoonist, takes away the editorial decision to endorse a candidate in the most important election in a very very long time . . . I was a journalist for almost two decades, the publisher/owner has a right to make the newspaper profitable and popular but NOT line his other pocket and make him personally feel safer in his ivory tower.
Brilliant cartoon as always. As an American citizen now living in Ireland, I'll offer my adaptation of a classic Irish song as a comment:
Oh, Donny boy, the press, the press is caving,
The owners are afraid to make you mad.
Cartoonists who once kept our leaders honest,
Are being silenced and it’s very sad.
Your billionaires are taking over everything,
The rest of us have nowhere left to go,
If we speak up, you’ll drag us to the courthouse.
Oh, Donny boy, oh Donny boy, we hate you so!
