Summary
Pulitzer-winning cartoonist Ann Telnaes resigned from The Washington Post after the paper refused to publish her cartoon depicting owner Jeff Bezos and other media leaders kneeling before Donald Trump.
Telnaes criticized the decision as censorship, calling it dangerous for press freedom.
The Post’s opinions editor, David Shipley, defended the move, citing redundancy with other content.
Telnaes’s resignation follows backlash over the Post’s recent editorial decisions, including avoiding endorsements for Kamala Harris, which led to mass subscription cancellations.
Telnaes has long been celebrated for her bold commentary and award-winning work.
I think, from top down - Altman, besos, zuckerberg, ???, and mickey (did iger donate?).
Who is the bottom person though? Doesn’t look like him, but the Apple guy gave his protection money as well. And did Google bend the knee as well?
Okay, it was the LAtimes owner that also refused to endorse in editorial.
Mickey is a reference to ABC, which is owned by Disney, cowing to Trump.
Tim Cook just recently donated, so maybe him? Or even if not, worth the mention
Edit: oops it’s late and I missed “Apple guy” or “tim Apple” as trumps 5yo brain can remember
