Letter: Cartoons no place for politics
A recent cartoon strip (Gil Thorp) has a character calling statements of “fake news” reporting “the new last refuge of a scoundrel.”
Since children are often the readers of cartoons, I’m sure the liberal-leaning population is delighted to see this obvious political opinion instilled upon our youth.
Cartoons should stick to being entertaining and non-political. There certainly is such a thing as “fake news,” just as there is such a thing as “biased news,” and both are far too prevalent in today’s reporting.
