I suppose everyone is talking about the Mueller Report now, but I don't really have much to say until we learn what's actually in the report. We know from public records that the Trump campaign had all sorts of dealings with Russia that any reasonable person would interpret as coordination; we do not know why Mueller was unable to bring charges. Anyone making sweeping conclusions based on the wording of the Barr letter is engaging in uninformed spin and premature bloviation. Unfortunately, this seems to be most of the media.

Speaking of which, a far more important issue we face is the crisis in journalism. I've had the idea for a while now that if Fox News were an individual reporter, he or she would have been denounced as an unethical fraud and exiled from the profession. But when this same lack of ethics applies to an entire network, many media insiders can't bring themselves to apply the same standards. Anyone remember Jayson Blair, the fabulist reporter who caused a major scandal for the New York Times? You might say Fox is like that, but with a plutocratic agenda.

Fox covers for itself by sprinkling in very small amounts of real reporting alongside wackadoo disinformation campaigns, conspiracy theories, and hate speech. This leads other media professionals to erroneously defend the network in the name of "press freedom." It creates an opening for holier-than-thou pundits to call the Dems "closed-minded" for not having a debate on the channel, when a more apt comparison would be having a debate on InfoWars. Well-meaning progressive groups play into this strategy when they celebrate the occasional Fox anchor who criticizes Trump or says something sane. Recently, former Democratic strategist Donna Brazile made the decision to join Fox as a contributor, further lending them the veneer of legitimacy. (I was going to include her at the end of the cartoon, but decided it made things too complicated.)

Well, California Rep. Devin Nunes’ marketing campaign to boost the visibility of the Twitter account of Devin Nunes’ Cow succeeded fabulously. In the five hours or so that has passed since I took the screenshot of the @DevinCow page for this animation, the parody account has added around 70,000 followers. Before Nunes sued his imaginary cow’s Twitter account, it had a grand total of 1,204 followers.

Nunes seems to have no grasp of satire, parody, free speech and, um, intelligence. (Which is a tad ironic given that he is the former chair of the House Intelligence Committee.) This story is about more than just a little Twitter dispute and a frivolous lawsuit, Nunes is one of President Trump’s staunchest defenders and errand boys in Congress.

There is more to the humble “dairy farmer” story than meets the eye. And let’s not forget Nunes’ more important claim to fame, his night time Uber ride that ended in a desperate attempt to protect the Trump corruption crew from investigation(s). Enjoy the cartoon, and stop by my Patreon page for goodies, behind-the-scenes videos and more!

Cartoon: Jacinda of New Zealand vs. Trump

Watching New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's response to the terrorist attack against Muslims in Christchurch threw into relief what a real leader of a country looks like. I couldn't help but feel a bit jealous of my antipodean sistren and brethren. Meanwhile, here in the States, Trump is downplaying the growing threat of white nationalism that he's helped foment.

I had a bit of an internal debate over the title of this cartoon, because I felt using the first name of a female politician while using the last name of a male one could be seen as tapping into gender preconceptions about authority figures. But in my personal experience, New Zealanders often refer to Jacinda Ardern as "Jacinda" much like Beto O'Rourke is referred to as "Beto." I had to identify her as being from New Zealand, since many Americans don't know her name, and "Jacinda Ardern of New Zealand" was getting a bit unwieldy.
