There have been many, many Dominion/Fox cartoons since we looked at the immediate reactions. Here are some of the most thought-provoking from the second wave: Jack Ohman starts us off with an extremely important factor to bear in mind, which is that, while the lawsuit and its revelations were major news on most networks, Fox […]
David Rowe captures the significance of the last-minute settlement between Fox and Dominion Voting Systems: It’s less a punishment for having spread malicious lies to a trusting audience than it is hush money paid to make a problem go away. As he notes, the MAGA crowd will continue to play the role of gullible marks […]
I’m really sorry the Dominion/Fox trial isn’t being televised. As Ed Hall says, it’s going to be a slam-dunk for Dominion to prove that Fox intentionally, knowingly lied about them, and it would be good to have it all out in the open for everyone to see. But, then again, let’s not forget the OJ […]
Chip Bok apparently went to the drawing board as soon as the election was called, but before Lightfoot responded. “Obviously, we didn’t win the election. But I stand here with my head held high and my heart full of thanks,” Lightfoot told supporters shortly before 9 p.m. That’s how it’s done on the blue side […]
Ann Telnaes sums up the Dominion Voting Systems v Fox News case in a single graphic: They knew the truth but chose to lie. And before we go any farther, her collection of Fox personalities reminds me that, when Boss Tweed escaped from jail and fled to Spain, US authorities — unable in those days […]
Matt Wuerker (Politico) starts us off with the Big Lie, which is that the 2020 election was fixed. However, that central lie is, like the cloud of smoke he draws, a form of pollution that spreads everywhere. That is, it’s obviously bad that people believe the election was fixed, but the metastasizing evil is all […]
Dream on, Winslow. Prickly City (AMS) has been a voice in the wilderness, trying to put forth conservative views without falling into the mire that seems to have taken over things on that side of the aisle. Trump broke his silence the other day with a rant triggered by his loss at the Supreme Court, […]
Clay Bennett (CTFP)‘s latest inspires a couple of reactions. One is to take it at face value, because it does feel that we’ve put a lot of bad vibes and hard feelings behind us. I’ve said before that I don’t expect a lot from Joe Biden, but a simple Jerry-Ford-like chance to exhale is good […]
Stop! You’re both right! CSotD is two – two – two sites in one! And, at this fraught moment, there are enough humorous political cartoons that we can do a whole posting of nothing but. We’ll start things off with a bit of pure stand-up schtick from Drew Sheneman (AMS), who draws for the […]
Lalo Alcaraz (AMS) takes a leap of faith, given that Ossoff/Perdue remains too close to call as I write this and so was hardly a sure thing when he was creating this one. Of course, it can be argued that Warnock’s win and the closeness of this race is, in itself, enough to trouble, if […]
There is a lot of kvetching over how horrible 2020 has been, but cartoonists are going to have to really kick out the jams to do better than Ann Telnaes (WashPost), who not only echoes Mike Dukakis’s Greek saying that a fish stinks from the head, but, working on-line, does not let herself be limited […]
