Missed It: Italian Cartoonist Dismissed After Criticizing Administration's Actions

In one of those stories where you initially think there may be something more to it and then eventually resign yourself to it perhaps being exactly what it looks like and what it looks like is depressing, cartoonist Vauro Senese was fired from a state television show gig after doing a cartoon savaging one of the responses to the recent L'Aquila earthquake. The show in question was Annozero, hosted by Michele Santoro.

My thoughts fairly mirror the ones unpacked here, in that there's reason to believe this is solely about the political insult rather than any of the reasons given.
