Pulitzer winner quits 'Washington Post' after a cartoon on Bezos is killed

[Anonymous]

Good.

It was far easier than firing them. And the end result is better. They’re still gone, but of their accord!

This type of shaming has stopped working. People are sick of your crap.

Poor widdle billionaires. We hurt their feewings and made them ashamed.
So sad 😭

One doesn't become a billionaire based on feelings. The only feelings that have been shown are the cartoonist's pique and the whiney liberal losers failed attempts at humor.

Yes we know. That’s why we don’t worship billionaires. Feelings are a good thing. How is the world so upside down that people promote unfeeling billionaires as some sort of role model? Fock the money. Being a real human being is far more gratifying than any amount of material wealth.

Because some chick doesn’t get a silly cartoon published? Let her get a job at Starbucks and provide something of value.

Is this poster actually this stupid or just trolling? What says the group?

DP: Might be someone who didn't think the cartoon was funny. Trump is in the pocket of the rich and Mickey Mouse died. Show me the humor.

… do… you think… the point of this satirical cartoon… is to be funny? Is that, what you believe, is the purpose of this cartoon…?

Yes. A cartoon is defined as humorously exaggerated.

Next question.

This isn’t a partisan issue. Or perhaps you think you are part of “team billionaire”. I mean, it’s anonymous here, I suppose you could be a secret billionaire, defending “your people”. Is that it? Are you a billionaire?
Because if you are not, you’ve twisted yourself around to defend an owner who’s “pique” about a satirical cartoon lead to censoring criticism. Sure, it’s his prerogative. Certainly someone as intelligent as Mr. Bezos had to know that the paper he had purchased would be reporting, and perhaps even be critical of his business.
It’s not easy to take public criticism to be sure. Perhaps having a small prickly oligarchy controlling our media isn’t in any of our best interests.
The artist here did a noble thing. She walked away from steady pay on principle . I’m not sure I would have the fortitude. It’s a shame we have a congress full of elected officials that haven’t been able to show that kind of bravery on our behalf. We are where are today because most people shrug and don’t rock the boat. Good for Ann.

Pro tip. Read the comment before commenting. It is “ cartoonist’s pique”
Not “owner’s pique.”

You literally didn’t understand anything written above. Pro tip- You are too stupid for this forum. Head elsewhere.

We are at the mercy of billionaire overlords.

Between Musk buying himself a Presidency and other crap we are losing control.

And no, pointing it out isn't starting a class war, it's pointing out the warfare that billionaire oligarchs already started on us by corrupting our political processes and putting us under their thumbs.

LOL, so billionaire owners are fine as long as it is the "right" kind of billionaire that agrees with you. At least Bezos actually made his own money.

The media is controlled by them. Look at Fox, the NyT and NYpost.

I use “they/them/their/they’re because I didn’t wanna misgender her. I know how offensive that can be to …… you people.

Oh, now someone's "widdle" "feewings" have been hurt. Your comment was perfectly understandable. And perfectly laughable. Unlike the "cartoon."

For all those who think political cartoons should be funny, this links to a couple commemorating the 20th anniversary of 9/11: https://www.sbsun.com/2021/09/11/twenty-years-after-9-11-political-cartoons/

Political cartoons are editorial opinions. They aren't supposed to be funny like Garfield.

SPOT ON. Just using the MAGA bingo card to get spun up about something they don’t know anything about.

Omg- can we ask Jeff if this is the same poster? It’s so painful.
