Re: ny post cartoon

Rupert Murdoch has apologized, for real:

[QUOTE]As the Chairman of the New York Post, I am ultimately responsible for what is printed in its pages. The buck stops with me.
Last week, we made a mistake. We ran a cartoon that offended many people. Today I want to personally apologize to any reader who felt offended, and even insulted.

Over the past couple of days, I have spoken to a number of people and I now better understand the hurt this cartoon has caused. At the same time, I have had conversations with Post editors about the situation and I can assure you - without a doubt - that the only intent of that cartoon was to mock a badly written piece of legislation. It was not meant to be racist, but unfortunately, it was interpreted by many as such.

We all hold the readers of the New York Post in high regard and I promise you that we will seek to be more attuned to the sensitivities of our community. [/QUOTE]

Re: ny post cartoon

I read that on CNN as well and the one thing that caught my eye is this..... he says

[QUOTE]"I can assure you -- without a doubt -- that the only intent of that cartoon was to mock a badly written piece of legislation.[/QUOTE]

but the writeup also says

[QUOTE]The cartoon was published on Wednesday, a day after President Obama signed the stimulus bill.[/QUOTE]

Clearly, if it was meant to be what it was meant to be what he says it was mean to be, I guess they could have released the cartoon when the 750 Billion Bill was approved as opposed to when Obama signed the Bill.
