The Media, Education, Democrat Party, Sports, Entertainment, Corporate America, etc do NOT allow free thought and speech anymore.

No. You are free to say what you want as long is it along it falls in what they want you to say.

Yep.  I expect many newspapers to signal their virtuousness and drop his comic.  Not that there's that many papers left anyway.

Many newspapers, if not all, have online content through their websites in which you can subscribe.  No effing way I am going to pay for their radical, far left drivel.  They are almost all far left woke insanity.

Dilbert has been well loved by millions for a long time. No newspaper is going to risk falling off their already narrow profit ledge by cancelling the strip. Newspapers are attempting to at least put a veneer of respectable journalism over their pages. They're more inclined to move on to the next hot issue than hang up on one.

I don’t think Scott cares.

The papers have reached the point where they can’t afford to drop ANYTHING that gets revenue - even a comic strip.  There’ll be lots of bluster and balderdash, followed pretty much by the status quo.

I think that depend on the location. Since most large cities have gone from two or more newspapers down to one, there is no competition for objectivity or ethics, and no need to cater to their customers.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is yet another mouthpiece for the DNC. I stopped reading it back in 2008, as have most people. I actually look with pity to someone who asks me “Did you see the article about xyz in the paper this morning?”

I know I'm going to regret this, but I don't see what's objectionable about the cartoon.  In fact, I don't get it at all--why is it funny?

Edit:  Oh--the sixteenth.  Okay, I get that one.  I don't understand the one for the seventeenth.

Not real sure I do either.
I guess a "server rack" is racist.  You are not allowed to put a server on a rack, and blacks are often servers.

Maybe it’s sexist. A waitress’s boobs?

If math and national parks are racist, why shouldn't everything else be?
The rules are made up by lazy, good for nothing, assholes.
They have no intention of producing anything, so they hate those who do and because production equals success, success and successful ventures are racist... unless they are funded by george soros, that is.

Important for larger tips.  This thread is worthless without pictures.  :)

Except I wasn't talking about the 17 Sept cartoon.

Correct.  Sexist because it calls attention to the rack upon a (hopefully female) server.
