I heard yesterday that murdoch is furious over this and the head of the post is likely to lose his job..

This, I don't doubt.

Murdoch is in business. He pays people to think about how a bunch of left-wing fanatics and black racists might misinterpret something like a cartoon.

It obviously never crossed the cartoonist's mind that some racists would impute a racial meaning to the cartoon. But Murdoch does pay these editors to be clairvoyant.

Murdoch is mad because he has large black readership who also follow sharptons lead. This is just PC bullshit.

I also heard he had wanted to trash Obama more but Murdoch has pulled in the reins. The guy is a redneck [literally] from Down Under.
