A Pulitzer Prize-winning American cartoonist has quit the Washington Post newspaper, claiming her latest sketch was axed by her editor due to its lampooning of the relationships between prominent tech and media figures and US President-elect Donald Trump.
Illustrator Ann Telnaes, 64, announced her resignation via her own Substack blog on Saturday, including a draft of the political cartoon in the post and accusing her editor of preventing her from doing the “critical job” of “[holding] powerful people and institutions accountable.”
A freedom of the press issue?
A reminder that the “press” almost universally lied about Covid about Biden’s descent into dementia and has smeared Donald Trump 24/7 since 2015.
