Picketers At Newsday Over Cartoon
Members of the Long Island Hispanic community picketed the Newsday office in Long Island in Wednesday, upset over the timing and content of a Mallard Fillmore cartoon. Unless I'm missing certain subtleties in cartoonist Bruce Tinley's use of dinosaur metaphors, it looks like the offense came from a cartoon about hate crimes appearing on the anniversary of the stabbing death of Ecuadorean immigrant Marcelo Lucero. Tinley's response is unpacked a bit more in the article through the link. The publication released a statement saying they should not have run the cartoon.
