The reaper came for another editorial cartoonist over the weekend.
The Brunswick News newspaper group in Canada canceled Michael de Adders contract a couple of days after he distributed a cartoon on Twitter depicting Donald Trump on the fairway, golf club in hand, asking two face-down, drowned migrants, Do you mind if I play through?
De Adder told the Washington Post that his editor didnt say why his contract was being canceled, but he surmises it was because of his history of Trump-critical cartoonswhich he didnt offer to Brunswick News publications. The only subject I was told that was taboo was Trump, de Adder said. (Brunswick News denies it terminated de Adder over the Trump cartoon. They had been shopping for a replacement, and hired him.)
Essays marking the decline of editorial cartooning have been perennial since 1954, when the Saturday Reviews Henry Ladd Smith declared the form trite and exhausted. But we are now really entering the end times of the editorial cartoon

A glimpse into the ugly truth behind the MSM’s “feel good coverage” of President Trump. Helps us to understand why there are never any negative stories about the man, or his Presidency. No criticism of Trump allowed!
Why send us to Google.com?
Now I'm happy with President Trump but let's face it, he's not as perfect as the mainstream media makes him out to be.
Yeah, too bad every media outlet in the country, including Google and Yahoo, is staffed and run by hard-core conservatives. Makes for kind of a one-sided point of view, if you ask me.
Or not.
I know, right!? All we get is Trump did great today or Trump solved yet another problem! Geez! I’m tired of all the mainstream media cheerleading!
I thought it was a hilarious cartoon...
Mostly, because I believe that the picture was staged.
Bump
Waaaaa!
Barack Obama refused to stand with European leaders in denouncing the attacks on Charlie Hebdo. Instead Obama blamed the victims of jihad for instigating the Islamonazi attack.
Barack’s FIB also sat idle and watched as 2 jihadis stormed the “Draw Mohammed” contest in Irving Texas only to be neutralized by private security.
FUPo.
Don’t get me wrong. I like our president well enough. But when will the mainstream media stop treating Donald Trump like he was the messiah himself? It’s like he can do no wrong. And that’s not right.
“Mostly, because I believe that the picture was staged.”
Evidence?
From what I have read, they were dropping the dude anyway to bring back a much more popular cartoonist.
More fake nooz.
Obama spied on journalists and threatened and intimidated them and locked up several filmmakers in prison because he disapproved of the political nature of their films (the Benghzi patsy and Dinesh D’Souza and then there have be the prosecutions of Project Veritas).
FUPo
Yes, his-story was discredited yesterday and the media persists in a digital smear and big lie today.
Mostly, because I believe that the picture was staged.
Evidence?
Dead bodies that wash up dont generally pose so neat and tidy.
Basics...
1) when you lose consciousness you don’t necessarily retain a grasp on objects in your control.
2) there was no bloat on the bodies, if they had been “found” by chance, in a few hours in that heat they would be puffed up
With a long history of faking pictures using dead children the PLO, Hezbollah, Hamas, and others have been doing this sort of crap for 20+ years. I am not arguing that they died by drowning, I am arguing that the odds that they washed ashore together like that are extremely low of the waters were as turbulent as to cause him to drown.
The picture was staged for shock value. And it is shocking... until you start to investigate the rest of the circumstances of the story and then the facts don’t line up.
It's so weighted towards us, it almost feels unfair. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad we're winning. But the left is so ... silenced by the system.
But the left is so ... silenced by the system.
Not completely. I heard someone had their car keyed because they had a Trump 2020 sticker on it. Unconfirmed, so take it with a grain of salt.
Maybe some on the left will find the courage to stand up for themselves and speak their mind, even if it does cost them a role in the next movie.
When Trump much as rides a bike they gush over his sporting talent as though no one else has ever ridden a girls bike! I sick of it!
