Sean Delonas, America's Favorite Editorial Cartoonist, isn't on the New York Post's Page Six today! WE WON! Or, you know, maybe he picked a weird time for a vacation, he's normally off on Mondays. Update: Drat. It's just his normal day off. Nevermind. You'll be seeing his regularly scheduled racist,...

In your philosophical Friday media column: arm-twisting at the San Francisco Chronicle, intellectual thuggery at the NAACP, body-slamming of college papers, and death and rebirth of reporters: Even as it's busy shutting down the Seattle paper and (maybe) combining some papers in Texas, Hearst has fo...

Bad: Rupert Murdoch biographer Michael Wolff is rumored to be having an affair with his younger employee. Far worse, for Wolff: this gives News Corp (and others) a chance to get back at him. Cityfile broke the affair story last week. Wolff said his lawyer would be in touch with them—but they'v...

Rupert Murdoch has offered up a personal apology for Sean Delonas' monkey-stimulus cartoon: As the Chairman of the New York Post, I am ultimately responsible for what is printed in its pages.

For...

The New York Post issued an angry non-apology for Sean Delonas' monkey cartoon. The New York Times issued a mealy-mouthed non-apology for its winking John McCain(*cough*SEX*cough*)-lobbyist story. Please; it's very important to non-apologize correctly: Don't say 'If you were offended...'—Or wo...

newVideoPlayer("/ViewMonkey.flv", 506, 423,""); Whatever intern is tasked with explaining current events to Barbara Walters failed miserably today, as she misunderstood the growing controversy about a perceived-to-be-racist Post cartoon in the most hilarious way possible. A little background, if you...

Rev. Al Sharpton, having no other plans for the day, just held a protest outside the New York Post 's headquarters to protest Sean Delonas' monkey cartoon.
