I’ve worked for the Washington Post since 2008 as an editorial cartoonist. I have had editorial feedback and productive conversations—and some differences—about cartoons I have submitted for publication, but in all that time I’ve never had a cartoon killed because of who or what I chose to aim my pen at. Until now.

The cartoon that was killed criticizes the billionaire tech and media chief executives who have been doing their best to curry favor with incoming President-elect Trump. There have been multiple articles recently about these men with lucrative government contracts and an interest in eliminating regulations making their way to Mar-a-lago. The group in the cartoon included Mark Zuckerberg/Facebook & Meta founder and CEO, Sam Altman/AI CEO, Patrick Soon-Shiong/LA Times publisher, the Walt Disney Company/ABC News, and Jeff Bezos/Washington Post owner.

The cartoon is at the link.

Corporate media is nothing more than a propaganda tool of Trump.

“Corporate media is nothing more than a propaganda tool of Trump.”

What do you mean by “Corporate media”?

WaPo is owned by Bezos and we know he interferes - no presidential endorsement this time. Not too surprising that he/his lackeys would suppress a cartoon making fun of him.

NYT is very far from being a propaganda tool of Trump.
