Please Stop Laughing At Jesus

A recent Mike Luckovich appearance on CNN has riled up conservative-leaning media watchdogs, who note that anchor Miles O'Brien had the temerity to laugh at the cartoons being presented to him on a segment about editorial cartoons. One supposes all of the unfunny, exactly middle-of-the-road cartoonists were busy that day. This post has the best title, and provides a textbook example of political/media analysis driven by context and implication that's popular on both sides of the aisle when making the media and wider culture the Camp Mohawk to whatever one's personal Camp Northstar might happen to be.

Frankly, I thought we'd see a lot more of this this Fall. Although there seems to be a significant increase in newspaper letters pages about unfair or out-of-bounds editorial cartoons, very few have been presented on anything more than a local stage.
