Pressing After The Initial Press Doesn’t Have To Be Seen As Piling On

Judging from the number of happy blog posts and articles about recent editorial cartooning Pulitzer Prize winner Mark Fiore resubmitting and having approved a device platform application based on his work, an application that had earlier been rejected for its satirical overtones, few if any object to Fiore using his new-found publicity and status and the timing of both as a club to get what he wanted from Apple. I hope that same courtesy is extended the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists following up Fiore's public win with a public letter that chastises Apple for initially rejecting the application for the reason Apple apparently did. That the ridicule of public figures somehow doesn't figure into our national dialogue is one of those notions that flops up from a general stew of well-meaning and anti-press sentiment and shouldn't be countenanced.
