Do We Need More Cartoons On Media?

The thought that any more analysis need be given to the media as an agent within politics is fairly remarkable given that issues like media bias, how something plays and even process fairly dominates any television news story that makes it out of the first hour of who, what, when and where. Still, it's hard not to see something in a Guardian letter-writer's plea for blunt cartoonists like Steve Bell to re-arrange their opportunities to "shout back" at insulting politics so that the other half of that question and answer equation is included in the blame. I'm just not sure how it can be done without the kind of self-regard loop that such coverage creates.
