Peoria Journal Star Cartoon by Horsey in Poor Taste

Horsey, whose usual bad taste cartoons are foisted on the JS reader on a too frequent basis. He is a far left leaning liberal and most likely a Democrat; he sure isn't a Republican but is apparently a favorite of the Democrat leaning Editorial Board of the Journal Star (JSEB)

I don't mind political cartoons but when cartoonists like horse's-ass Horsey deliberately maligns the truth, it nearly causes me to cancel my subscription. In talking to my friends, I found many of them have already cancelled and with good reasons; another one being that there isn't much news in the paper written by skilled local reporters. Most of the content, other than a preponderance of advertising and a decent sports page, comes from the news wires in a minimized form. So much that I have stopped reading the ads including the blatant ones by the hearing aid distributors who must make a fortune on the Asian made devices they sell.

In truth, cartoonists like Horsey are the evil minded people from another century and would go over big in Egypt, Iran and Russia. In America, they appeal to the less read, less informed who perhaps make up the majority of the JS readership today.

So sad.
