Today’s New York Times week in review section has the usual cartoon spread. As usual, it is nothing more than an example of hackwork that is completely stripped of editorializing. Political cartoons should have politics in them. But these never do. Of the four cartoons, we have one about Congressman Wiener and Twitter, another one about cell phones and cancer. Then there’s a Jeff Stahler cartoon about Kevorkian and again Wasserman cartoon about Mitt Romney. None of these express any indication as to whether they’re drawn by liberals or conservatives. Typical.
