The American School of Journalism vs. The Russian School of Journalism

The above cartoon was posted in response to Charlotte's comment, regarding my apparent posting of cartoons only of poets and academics. Why not cartoons on others, she'd suggested.
So here's one on journalists and inspired by the excellent cartoon below, which I discovered on National Free Press... which then kindly posted P. Maudit's cartoon also (see www.nationalfreepress.org/The-American-School-of-Journalism).
Things are certainly worse in many other countries regarding the press. Nonetheless, things are certainly not perfect in the USA, which is why I was compelled to do the sketch.

    I love the connection with the Chamber and the Smiley News.

    Thanks Tod. Very good toon. I'm sure you have done many that deserve a second chance.

    Thanks again for taking a look, Charlotte! See, you inspired me! And due to that I got the National Free Press to put the cartoon up on its site.
