[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you work for a newspaper don’t insult the paper’s owner.  [/quote]

So then. wealthy person can just buy good press for themselves? Why would that be a good thing?[/quote]
In case you haven’t realized most employees aren’t free to insult their employer without consequences. [/quote]

What we are trying to explain is that ethical owners do not influence their staff. Why are you going to bat for billionaires that want to keep you ignorant rather than joining with your fellow citizens who are trying to hold the wealthy to account? [/quote]

It's not a matter of influencing staff to report inaccurately, but of exercising judgment in what a cartoonist chooses to make fun of and/or criticize in the first place.  Making a specific effort to be critical of the boss, instead of writing about any other topic, seems remarkably ill-advised and a display of appallingly bad judgment.  There is no special immunity for cartoonists to draw anything which occurs to them.   [/quote]
