Ann Telnaes said her cartoon aimed to criticize billionaire chief executives she said "have been doing their best to curry favor" with Donald Trump.

Erik Wemple didn't pull any punches during a live chat session with readers when asked about the controversial decision to scrap the cartoon, which led Pulitzer Prize winner Ann Telnaes to resign.

A Pulitzer-winning editorial cartoonist revealed that she quit her job at The Washington Post after management axed her drawing of billionaires—including Jeff Bezos, the paper’s owner—bending the knee to Donald Trump.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning political cartoonist Ann Telnaes has quit The Washington Post after her editors rejected a cartoon depicting billionaires genuflecting to President-elect Trump. Telnaes says it was the first time since she began her work at the newspaper in 2008 that she had a cartoon killed because of who or what she chose to aim her pen at.

Washington Post cartoonist Ann Telnaes resigned after an editor rejected her sketch satirizing tech chiefs, including the Post's owner and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.

Cartoonist and Pulitzer Prize winner Ann Telnaes left the Washington Post amid a dispute over a drawing critical of the newspaper's owner Jeff Bezos.

Since 2017, a few years after Bezos acquired the Post, its masthead has declared: Democracy Dies in Darkness. Indeed it does. And this is the second time in less than three months that one of America’s most storied newspapers has dimmed its own lights in betrayal to that lofty ethos.

Ann Telnaes, a Pulitzer Prize winner, wrote that her editor prevented her from doing the "critical job" of holding "powerful people and institutions accountable."

The Washington Post announced it will lay off nearly 100 workers, or 4% of its staff, in an attempt to stem growing losses, according to media reports. The cuts reportedly will affect mainly employees on the business side of the storied US newspaper owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.

The documentary, directed by Brett Ratner, was announced Sunday, and is set to release in the second half of 2025.
