washington, d.c., usa - A recent cartoon censored by the Washington Post, depicting billionaires trying to please Trump, has caused a stir. The award-winning illustrator Ann Telnaes resigned after her drawing showing wealthy individuals presenting a bag of money to President Donald Trump was rejected.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Ann Telnaes of the Washington Post announced her resignation after her drawing portraying several billionaires, including the newspaper's owner Jeff Bezos, offering a 'money-filled bag' to US President Donald Trump was rejected.

Ann Telnaes, who has been working at the Washington Post since 2008, stated on social media that she was stepping down from her position. She mentioned that none of her previous cartoons had received such treatment before.

The rejected cartoon criticized the efforts of press and tech giant billionaires trying to do everything to please the elected President Donald Trump.

In the cartoon, Ann Telnaes highlighted figures like Jeff Bezos, the owner of WP and founder of Amazon, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, owner of the Los Angeles Times Patrick Soon-Shiong, as well as ABC News and The Walt Disney Company, who have been reported to be trying to 'impress' Trump recently.

Telnaes expressed concern over the rejection of her cartoon based on its content, stating that it is dangerous for press freedom.

Regarding the decision, David Shipley, editor of the Washington Post, defended the newspaper's stance, saying that every editorial decision is not a reflection of malicious intent. Shipley mentioned that he had spoken to Telnaes and asked her to reconsider her resignation decision.

The Washington Post, known for its left-liberal stance in the US, faced backlash this year for not endorsing any candidate in the presidential elections after 36 years. The newspaper had previously endorsed a presidential candidate in every election since 1976.

In American media reports, it was claimed that the Washington Post was very close to supporting Harris, but Jeff Bezos intervened in this decision, leading to the announcement of not supporting any candidate. It was also reported that Disney's ABC News, owned by Disney, agreed to pay $15 million in damages as a charitable donation in a defamation lawsuit against Trump.
