“In addition to Mr. Bezos, the founder of Amazon, the cartoon depicted Meta’s founder, Mark Zuckerberg; Patrick Soon-Shiong, the owner of The Los Angeles Times; and Mickey Mouse, the corporate mascot of the Walt Disney Company.”

Power doesn’t voluntarily give up its place in the food chain.
infinite conflict of interest
Also, 2 columns on the subject is not repetitious especially if the thing canned is a cartoon. If anything the cartoon would be complementary.
I call bullshit.
Does that sound like something a gutless coward would say?

Carry this cartoon as your lead poster.
I wonder why NYT chose to omit it.

Thank you
We have been for at least a decade.
It is just getting more pronounced; as the last remnants of a relatively independent media are either sacked or convinced to lie to the public. 😤
Hence why even with a complete change of Gov; we are still trudging uphill due to an almost completely RW oligarch press and media trying to distort and stifle them.
Now being openly abetted by Melon guy 🙄

And since when has that been a policy? Since this cartoon was submitted?
So, can you tell us, Mr. Shipley, which editorial judgments ARE reflections of a malign force? Hmm?
Bow and Blow
To achieve their own ends.
That is absolute bullshit. It's laughable. That has never been a thing.
And it has nothing to do with the repetition. Alexandria Petri should quit as well, because they used her excellent work as an excuse for silencing someone else.

The corporatists who think cooperation can co-opt fascist leaders’ plans to capture their wealth and autonomy are always wrong.
Dudes who threw their lot in with Orban are now asked to “sell” their businesses to his friends.
Might have been part of the reason it was killed.
Who's there?
Open the door America,
Oligarchy and Fascism are here.

Je suis Ann?
Constantly dissing people has no value for humanity.
Do something of value. When you were a child did you say to yourself, “I want to be a person that makes people hate other people?”
