Aldaynet is running a bit reporting that Ted Rall has been dropped form the New York Times. says Rall himself:
“If you read my cartoons at the New York Times website, you may have noticed a hole on the comics page where my work used to appear. It seems that, under the dismally lame cover of ‘moving in a different direction,’ my cartoons were the only feature out of 10 (all supplied by Universal Press Syndicate) that the Times saw fit to drop. “
Apparently, Rall goes into a snit about free speech, and so on.
To which I respond:
Free speech?
Hmmm.
I’m unaware of anyone preventing him from drawing his crap. He could draw for any other paper that would have him.
Seems to me that Rall, like the good liberal he is, hasn’t figured out that free speech doesn’t mean a guaranteed audience. If it did, my Blog would be on a commercial site of my own making, with thousands of readers every hour.
LOL… I wonder how thie likes of Rall would deal with that.
IN any event, consider the positioning, here. Someone whose politics are too far left for the NYT? The mind boggles….
