Part of being a journalist and a cartoonist is being able to speak truth to power. It’s inherent in the duties going with the job. So it’s not obvious, no.

- mrayycombi 2y agoSpeak truth to power? Lol. Journalists and cartoonists sell the appearance of transgression to make their brand edgy. You work for power. Speaking truth is just a slogan to assuage your guilt.
- vintagedave 2y agoThat’s deeply cynical, but many journalists I’ve met view their job as a calling and a duty.
- mrayycombi 2y agoLol. Look up "yellow journalism" - why don't they view their jobs as a legacy of pandering to the rich and lying to the public?
