WHEN I WAS A CHILD, ONE OF OUR NEIGHBOURS (A FRIEND — CALLED SAY TUTU) HAS BEEN BORN WITH A DISTORTED FACE. SHE WAS IN HER TWENTIES AND MANAGED TO LIVE WELL DESPITE HER DISFIGURATION. NOW, IF YOU HAVE A SMART-IDIOTIC PHONE, YOU MIGHT HAVE AN APP THAT TAKES PORTRAIT AND DISTORT FACES. IT'S FUN AND YOU CAN MAKE PEOPLE SCREAM WHEN THEY SEE THEMSELVES LIKE A PICASSO PORTRAIT.

THE PHOTO APP MIGHT ACTUALLY SHOW TUTU WITH A NORMAL FACE. IS THIS APP AN INSENSITIVE INSTRUMENT TO PEOPLE LIKE TUTU, BY SHOWING ALL THE PEOPLE WITH FACE LIKE HERS? WOULD IT BE A REMINDER OF THE TRAUMA SHE HAD ENDURED ALL HER LIFE?

WE CARTOONIST DO HORRIBLE THINGS TO PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY THE RICH, THE POLITICIANS AND POWERFUL. AND WE HAVE A DUTY TO PROTECT THE WEAK AND DOWNTRODDEN. 

PRESENTLY THERE IS A CONTROVERSY ABOUT WHITE PEOPLE BECOMING THE REJECT OF SOCIETY.

THE DILBERT CREATOR WENT ON A RANT ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE REFUSING TO RECOGNISE THAT "IT'S OKAY TO BE WHITE."

WHETHER HE IS RIGHT OR NOT IN HOW FAR HE PUSHED HIS "DISGUST" AND TRIED TO MAKE IT "IT'S OKAY TO BE WHATEVER" HE BECAME A PARIAH OF THE POWERFUL LOBBIES THAT CONTROL "HUMAN RIGHTS", RACISM AND ALL THAT.

Elon Musk has accused the media en masse, as well as “elite colleges and high schools,” of being racist against white and Asian people. The CEO of Twitter, SpaceX and Tesla was commenting on US newspapers severing ties with the author of an award-winning comic strip for making remarks construed as racist on his personal YouTube channel.

“The media is racist,” wrote Musk to his near 130 million Twitter followers in a response to tweets about Scott Adams, creator of the ‘Dilbert’ comic strip.

Adams, who in 1989 created the award-winning strip which lampooned US corporate culture, was dropped by major publishers including the Los Angeles Times, Washington Post and USA Today this week after he referred to black American respondents to a poll as a “hate group”. 

He was referring to the 26% of black Americans who rejected the phrase “It’s OK to be white” in a Rasmussen Reports poll. The term has been defined by the Anti-Defamation League as a “hate slogan”which originated in right-wing circles as a means of undermining various social justice movements in the US.

THE RANT BY DILBERT'S CREATOR WAS CLUMSY BUT LIKE EVERYTHING THESE DAYS, THE MEDIA BECOMES POLARISED ON GUILT — ITS OWN GUILT FOR HAVING PUBLISHED RACIST ARTICLES SINCE THE LATE 1800s. WE DO NOT HAVE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT WHAT'S WHAT. WE BECOME JURY, JUDGE AND EXECUTIONER IN ONE SWOOP.

FOR THIRTY YEARS, OFFICE MANAGERS SHOULD HAVE REVOLTED AGAINST THE BIAS OF DILBERT... BUT WHEN THERE IS A BIT OF COLOUR ON THE SATIRE, WE SHUT THE GATE. SAME WITH TRUMP.

Reporters make mistakes. It is the nature of the trade. There are always a few stories we wish were reported more carefully. Writing on deadline with often only a few hours before publication is an imperfect art. 

But when mistakes occur, they must be acknowledged and publicized. To cover them up, to pretend they did not happen, destroys our credibility. Once this credibility is gone, the press becomes nothing more than an echo chamber for a selected demographic. This, unfortunately, is the model that now defines the commercial media.

The failure to report accurately on the Trump-Russia saga for the four years of the Trump presidency is bad enough. What is worse, major media organizations, which produced thousands of stories and reports that were false, refuse to engage in a serious postmortem. 

The systematic failure was so egregious and widespread that it casts a very troubling shadow over the press. How do CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, The Washington Post, The New York Times and Mother Jones admit that for four years they reported salacious, unverified gossip as fact? 

How do they level with viewers and readers that the most basic rules of journalism were ignored to participate in a witch hunt, a virulent New McCarthyism? How do they explain to the public that their hatred for Trump led them to accuse him, for years, of activities and crimes he did not commit? How do they justify their current lack of transparency and dishonesty? 

It is not a pretty confession, which is why it won’t happen. The U.S. media has the lowest credibility — 26 percent — among 46 nations, according to a 2022 report from the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism. And with good reason.
