"These dogs don't hunt." Cartoon critique of media by 2 DUers in 2003. Jen6 and SoCalDem. Kudos. [View all]

I believe this was created in 2003 during all our anger and frustration with the lapdog media that never questioned George Bush at all. There is a lot of stuff in the picture. Bush is petting the head of the Fox dog. NPR is hiding behind the chair in confusion about its role. Not a single one of them was saying a word about all the lies spinning around us.

It was a brilliant cartoon that needs to be remembered.
