Steve Schmidt: A picture is worth a thousand words and $1 trillion [View all]



Link: https://steveschmidt.substack.com/p/a-picture-is-worth-a-thousand-words-769

You were never supposed to see it. The reason you did is because of the bravery, integrity and sacrifice by the gutsy woman — Ann Telnaes — who drew it. She had to quit her job at The Washington Post to show it to you.

David Shipley is the editorial page editor at the corrupted newspaper. He justified the killing of this cartoon with this self-serving lie:

I respect Ann Telnaes and all she has given to The Post. But I must disagree with her interpretation of events. Not every editorial judgment is a reflection of a malign force.

My decision was guided by the fact that we had just published a column on the same topic as the cartoon and had already scheduled another column – this one a satire – for publication.


It isn’t true.

The cartoon was killed by fear and cowardice. It is going to get much worse because of the fecklessness of men like Bezos, Zuckerberg, Soon-Shiong, Shipley, Iger, Scarborough, and many more.
