Cartoon Funnies & Wall Street Jack The Ripper Kills Government ?

R.A. Wilson RAW 2010

So on with the cartoons. Take a look at this op/ed about the importance of cartoon editorials in newspapers, and the editors who support the cartoonist.   The ‘Best Editor in America’ Award by Bill Day

It is time to blow the whistle on newspaper editors who claim that they rid themselves of their editorial cartoonist for “budgetary” reasons. It is a dishonest, disingenuous and duplicitous assault on the truth. That is not to say that there are not budgetary problems facing newspapers across America, just that it is not the reason they are laying-off their cartoonists. The sad truth of journalism today is that there are editors who “lack the guts”, the politest way I can express it, to have a cartoonist.

The public accepts their “budgetary’”excuse because they know newspapers are having a tough time, unknowingly buying into these editors’ falsehoods. It is their cover letter to shield themselves and thus be forgiven the sad decision “they had to make”. Baloney.
