The Washington Post has posted its (cough) “Best Editorial Cartoons of 2013 (so far).”
The Washington Post is edited by assholes.
Look, if you’re going to call a group of cartoons the “best,” they really should be, you know, best.
If not best, at least solid.
And this isn’t even representative of the field, much less solid.
Not one single “alternative” (modern) editorial cartoonist. No Matt Bors, no Tom Tomorrow, no Stephanie McMillan, no derf, no Jen Sorensen, no me, no Ruben Bolling, no Brian McFadden. None.
Not one of the good conservative cartoonists: Scott Stantis, Chuck Asay, Mike Lester.
All they did was cobble together some random mainstream stuff – hardly the best – by a few of the cartoonists they run all the time. With lots and lots of Tom Toles, because, well, he’s their staff cartoonist and they already pay him. Which is fine. Do whatever you want. But don’t fucking call this the “best” in the entire country or people will notice. Because the Washington Post may not want its readers to read the best cartoons…but people find them on the Web. Which is one more reason the Post is losing readers.
Assholes.
