That cartoon gives the press a bad name

Apparently, the creator of the controversial cartoon (Billy Chiepe) was one of the panellists on the radio programme. As my informant only listened to the tail end of the programme, he was not certain whether the editor of the newspaper was also on the panel. I hope he was, for it would have been interesting to hear his views on the cartoon.

While there is no doubt that the cartoonist's views on the matter would have been interesting, I think the editor's views would have been even more so. After all, it is the editor who finally decides what goes into his paper, having carefully weighed the pros and cons of publishing each of the contributions submitted to him.
