What's your evidence that there a massive yawn?
It appears to me this is a subjective judgment on your part and people are commenting on it like it's a given. I'd like to know on what you are basing your assumption that there is a "massive yawn."
After you answer that question, I'd like to know what you would like to see. What would the appropriate amount of outrage/disgust/disapproval, etc., look like to you?
Everywhere I look, I am seeing the story covered. So far tonight I have watched ABC News, which covered it. Later I tuned into Rachel, who covered it. I am watching Lawrence right now and he is covering it and showing the drawing.
The drawing and the story is front and center on the NY Times digital page but is on p. 9 of the print edition.
The digital edition has 11.3 million subscribers and the print edition has 580,000.
The story is front and center of the online edition of the Washington Post, too. The drawing is on the front page, under the masthead.
Again, what do you want to see?
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
