Washington Post cartoonist quits after satire aimed at owner Bezos rejected
In the cartoon, Mr Bezos, Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg and OpenAI's Sam Altman are depicted on their knees giving bags of cash to a statue of Trump. Mickey Mouse is also depicted prostrate in the cartoon. ABC News – which is owned by Disney – last month agreed to pay 15m to settle a defamation lawsuit filed by Trump. Ms Telnaes announced her resignation in a Substack post on Friday, saying she had worked for the newspaper since 2008. "In all that time I've never had a cartoon killed because of who or what I chose to aim my pen at," she wrote.
