What's especially hilarious about that cartoon is how blogs are supposedly refuting the reporting of two well established and respected newspapers. "The New York Times sa-" "No no no! Look at this random blog! It proves that's all bullshit!"

Really? This article says the opposite, that Macron basically crushed Trump's hand because he knows that Trump is a fucker who views relationships in terms of power and whatnot. https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/868845471112056833

Middle Age Riots whole deal is pairing clip art with bitter, snarky captions, and makes no real claims to do anything else. Its closer in style to a left wing and based in reality version of Liberal Logic 101's shareables.

Herbert Block, (1909 - 2001) Okay, so let's start with the biggest criticism of the man: nothing about Herblock's artwork particularly stands out. He was a very competent artist, but his style was absolutely the same style of most major cartoonists of the 1920's and 1930's, falling square into the "slightly rotund everyman gawks at slightly caricatured politicians interacting with giant objects anthropomorphising major issues of the day". To wit:  Here's his contemporary, Bill Maudlin, for an example of the same style:  No, Herblock didn't get to be famous for his artwork. What he got famous for was for being brazen, being willing to call politicians out for slimy behavior, and being able to do it so effectively and so directly that he actually led political thought rather than simply reacted to it like most of his contemporaries (or most of our current crop of political cartoonists, many of whom seem to wait to see what the party line is before putting their cartoons together.) For example, in the late 1940's and early 1950's, Washington fell victim to a number of demagogues screaming about how Communists had invaded the federal bureaucracy and were looking to sabotage everything we did in the name of making Capitalism fail and the USSR succeed. As the Washington Post's lead editorial cartoonist, of course Herblock had to comment upon it.  When this happened, there were a number of Senators and Congressmen seen as beating that drum, including the House Unamerican Activities Committee (HUAC, which would make life hell for many people over the next decade); but Herblock focused on one person as the most outspoken and the ringleader, and brandished the entire effort with his name:  McCarthyism. In a time period when most politicians and opinion-writers lost their backbone and refused to criticize McCarthy and the HUAC for fear of being smeared as a Red, Herblock remained outspoken in calling McCarthy a thug with blood on his hands, and lambasted the Republican Party for being unwilling to do anything to stop him.         Wait - who's that guy in the middle on that last one?  Oh, right. In his memoirs, Herblock stated that he almost called it "Nixonism" rather than "McCarthyism", as Richard Nixon's outrageous allegations against Alger Hiss, followed by his overwhelmingly red-baiting campaign for the Senate in 1950, made Nixon seem just as opportunist a demagogue as McCarthy. Herblock's disgust and dislike for Nixon and his tactics stood out from the first cartoon he drew with Nixon in it as a child pretending to be a grown-up:  to his reaction to then-Vice President Nixon's 1954 cross-country tour to specifically call out legislators he saw as "soft on communism", in a cartoon that is probably his most famous:  an allegory he was massively criticized by Republicans for, for which Nixon publicly cancelled his subscription to the Post, and which Herblock refused to drop, as shown in this 1958 cartoon:  Really, Nixon and Herblock are constantly entwined. Herblock defined Nixon's public anti-image - the used car salesman with the constant five o'clock shadow, slinging mud and slime everywhere and getting it on everyone he was around. And Nixon hated Herblock for it.  And Herblock hated Nixon.  But, come 1968, Nixon was elected President, and even Herblock agreed that it would be best for the country to allow the President the full chance to govern.  And so things continued. Bumpy, rocky, Herblock continuing to needle the Nixon Administration over Vietnam, over inflation crises, over civil rights. And then.  I can't do justice to Herblock's Watergate cartoons in a single post, especially one that's already way too long.  Suffice to say, the Washington Post was seen as leading the journalistic investigation into Watergate, and Herblock was their political cartoonist.  And Herblock felt it incumbent upon himself to put out the best cartoons he could to highlight and educate on Watergate, from the Saturday Night Massacre:  To the fighting end:   Herblock won four Pulitzer Prizes for his work, though one of them was for the entire Washington Post for its 1973 investigative work into Watergate. He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1994. After his death in 2001, the Herb Block foundation was established to champion the freedoms he cherished and protected; and as part of its work in protecting the freedom of the press, it gives out the annual Herblock prize in cartooning. :nsfw: http://imgur.com/a/OYN81 :nsfw:
