Agnes and I are visiting Chincoteague Island with our daughter and her family, and so the usual summary of bad news won't appear this week. Don't worry, though ... the bad news never stops, and we'll catch up next weekend. For now, on with the cartoons ... this week, in honor of the president's hatred and disdain for news that's insufficiently fawning over him and his administration, we offer a collection of cartoons about the news media ...
That's pretty much what I look like when I watch ...
Such a warning really would be nice, wouldn't it? ...
A long and storied history ...
True of every cable news channel you can name ...
It's all in how you choose to look at it ...
It would be physically, if not intellectually less bloody ...
If you've been reading this blog for very long, you know that I am fascinated by the Seven Deadly Sins ...
Now, that's a horrible curse ...
Hard to imagine, isn't it? ...
How I feel much of the time ...
And so we close out our last Cartoon Saturday for the month of July, with a nod to the much-maligned news media. Go forth and scream about the shortcomings of whichever network you choose not to watch.
Have a good day and a great weekend. Come back tomorrow for Musical Sunday and an interesting song by George Ezra. More thoughts then.

There's no direct route to Chincoteague Island is there?
ReplyDeleteMost excellent! The Cable News in Hell is just too true. Love the Devil's Advocate newspaper covering the 7 deadly sins.
ReplyDeleteNo, Mike, there’s no direct route to Chincoteague. To get there, we have to drive way north, then turn and head way south before the last ten miles east to the island. It’s about a four-hour drive that could probably take half that if there were a direct route.
ReplyDeleteThe news makes me want to do that too!
