Ann Telnaes, a cartoonist for the Washington Post, has resigned following the editorial board’s rejection of her cartoon satirizing Jeff Bezos. Telnaes argues that the decision endangers press freedom by indicating a willingness to appease powerful figures like Bezos, who owns the newspaper. The cartoon criticized tech and media companies seeking favor from future political leaders, including Donald Trump. The National Cartoonists Society supported Telnaes, calling the missed publication an act of ‘political cowardice.’ The editorial manager disputed Telnaes’ interpretation, claiming it was due to prior coverage.
