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.
Gets so fucking old that there is always someone who will go out of their way to drag conversations down into negativity and mansplainingly remind everyone there’s some fucking reason we should have a problem with something even though right here in the immediate it’s hurting nobody. Just endless fucking vitriol.
