The Peninsula Daily News’ July 14 Commentary pages had eight cartoons.
Three were by a cartoonist named Fitzimmons, who took on global warming deniers, hammered Donald Trump in four panels and declared Tony Soprano was a better bad guy than Donald Trump.
Grandlund’s cartoon told us climate deniers didn’t know the truth about the recent ice break in Antarctica.
He hadn’t read the oceanographer’s report that the break was not caused by warming.
Taylor Jones showed Trump Jr. blowing off Russian contacts — while attempting to remove dog excrement from his shoe.
And Gail Collins slimed Trump and his son in great detail.
Some balance was provided by one cartoon that had the Democratic donkey wrapped up in a straitjacket in the midst of a “Russia” background.
PDN leadership of course gets to choose, but so do we.
We get to say that we are concerned about seeing a balance of left and right views whether we get that or not.
But hope springs eternal.
Maybe you folks will get as weary of this political sausage-making as some of your readers already are.
Maybe we could see Michael Ramirez cartoons and columns by Charles Krauthammer and George Will once in awhile.
Or maybe a limit on Fitzimmons’ cartoons to one a day.
Good luck to us.
