Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Ann Telnaes, resigned from The Washington Post, citing the paper's decision to block her satirical cartoon. The cartoon depicts billionaires, including one resembling Post owner Jeff Bezos, kneeling before President-elect Donald Trump. Telnaes said in a blog post that this was the first time a cartoon was “killed” due to its subject matter. The Post's editorial page editor, David Shipley, stated that the rejection was due to editorial redundancy, not bias. The Washington Post reported that Jeff Bezos blocked the paper’s planned endorsement of Kamala Harris before the presidential election. Bezos pledged $1 million to Trump’s inaugural fund and was among several billionaires who met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago after his election victory.
