Of course, they are still getting settled in with their new owner. Too bad the editors of the Washington Post didn’t have the sense or presence of mind to understand what was going on.
WASHINGTON POST TED CRUZ DAUGHTERS CARTOON FOR FREE
Ann pushed the envelope for free speech just a little bit farther. The party that was wrong in all of this was the Washington Post, which spent only minutes determining that they should throw Ann under the bus by apologizing and taking the animation off of their website. Founder and Executive Director of the Cartoonists Rights Network International, Robert “Bro” Russel, posted an editorial piece on the CRNI website defending Telnaes: Whereas many are directly attacking Telnaes and her cartoon, others are standing in support of her First Amendment right to free speech. I understand why Ann thought an exception to the policy was warranted in this case, but I do not agree.Īlthough this confusing comment effectively threw Telnaes under the bus, she staunchly defended her work with a Twitter post of her own: “Ted Cruz has put his children in a political ad - don’t start screaming when editorial cartoonists draw them as well.” I failed to look at this cartoon before it was published. It’s generally been the policy of our editorial section to leave children out of it. In response to the negative feedback, editor Fred Hiatt had the cartoon pulled with the following note: They argued that the cartoon unfairly and arbitrarily attacked Cruz’s family. Published on the Post’s website for only a couple of hours, the cartoon was promptly taken down after Cruz as well as other Republican politicians, including Marco Rubio and Donald Trump, took to Twitter criticizing the newspaper’s editorial decision to depict Cruz’s two daughters. Telnaes drew the cartoon in response to Cruz’s decision to include his two grade-school age daughters in a Christmas-themed television ad that attacked Cruz’s political opponents. Last week Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Ann Telnaes and The Washington Post came under fire for publishing a cartoon depicting Republican presidential contender Ted Cruz in a Santa costume with his two daughters shown as dancing monkeys tethered to a crank music box labeled “Cruz 2016.” Although a majority of the backlash has come from fellow Republican Party members and supporters, Telnaes herself has received support from free speech activists and organizations defending her right to freedom of expression.

The Post removed the cartoon from the site and replaced it with a note from Editor Fred Hiatt: “It”s generally been the policy of our editorial section to leave children out of it. “… I knew I”d be facing attacks from day one of my campaign, but I never expected anything like this.” “My daughters are not fair game,” he wrote in the email soliciting contributions. In response to Ann Telnaes” cartoon, Cruz launched an “emergency” appeal Tuesday night seeking to raise $1 million in 24 hours. Caroline, 7, and Catherine, 4, have occasionally joined their father onstage, including at last week”s debate in Las Vegas. The cartoon – which the Post removed from its website this morning – poked fun at Cruz, saying he was using his two young daughters as political props. Under the spotlight cast by a Washington Post cartoon that depicted his children as monkeys, Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz launched an “emergency fund-raising campaign.”
