Most powerful cartoon of the year?
One of our readers described this cartoon by Michael Ramirez as "the most powerful political cartoon of the year". It certainly packs a punch. Is it too defensive? Too negative about the media? What do you think?
Ramirez is a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner. "Editorial cartoons should be smart and substantive, provocative and informative," he says. "They should stir passions and deep emotions.
