Washington Post cartoonist quits, claiming comic criticizing Bezos was censored

Salon  

Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Ann Telnaes is leaving the Washington Post after nearly two decades due to what she claims was editorial interference at the paper. In a post to her Substack on Friday, Telnaes claimed an editor at the paper killed a cartoon depicting billionaires groveling to President-elect Donald Trump this week. “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.” In addition to Bezos, the cartoon features Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, OpenAI boss Sam Altman, and fellow newspaper owner Patrick Soon-Shiong of the LA Times. Bezos and the Post previously drew criticism last year when senior leadership at the paper killed the editorial board’s planned endorsement of Kamala Harris, a move critics argued was a bid to appease then-potential winner Trump in advance.
