Nicholas Kristof on Satire
Nicholas Kristof in the NY Times says:
"Don’t tell my editors, but cartoonists, now an endangered species, are often more incisive social and political critics than columnists."
"That’s one gauge of the power of humor: Dictators fear mockery. The Committee to Protect Journalists says it has intervened this year alone to defend seven cartoonists around the world who were arrested, threatened with prosecution or threatened with death."
