Washington Post cartoonist quits after paper pulls her cartoon depicting Post owner Bezos groveling to TrumpWashington Post editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes recently announced she was quitting the paper after it spiked her cartoon critical of Post owner Jeff Bezos.
Cartoonist Ann Telnaes has resigned from the Washington Post after it refused to publish a cartoon satirizing its owner, Jeff Bezos.
The Post’s opinions editor, David Shipley, said in a statement that he disagreed with “her interpretation of events” and that his decision was “guided by the fact that we had just published a column on the same topic as the cartoon and had already scheduled another column — this one a satire — for publication. The only bias was against repetition.”

Since 2017, a few years after Bezos acquired the Post, its masthead has declared: Democracy Dies in Darkness. Indeed it does. And this is the second time in less than three months that one of America’s most storied newspapers has dimmed its own lights in betrayal to that lofty ethos.
