Washington Post cartoonist Ann Telnaes quits over a canceled Jeff Bezos cartoon.


Telnaes writes on Substack that the outlet killed her cartoon of Bezos and others kneeling before a Trump statue over its commentary’s point of view, a first for her since starting there in 2008. She writes: Post opinions editor David Shipley disagreed, blaming his decision on recent and scheduled Post coverage of the same subject and a “bias ... against repetition,” according to The New York Times.
