[rurallib]

2. trumpy's probly twittering and tweeting already

[awoke_in_2003]

13. If tRump decides to

enter that battle of wits, he will go in unarmed.

[bucolic_frolic]

3. Yeah he calls everything fair when he wins

like a hacked election at the behest of a hostile foreign power

[mountain grammy]

4. Boy is Trump ever gonna be mad

As soon as he "gets it"

[Ford_Prefect]

5. Only one thing missing from this is the SBG logo prominently displayed.

[awoke_in_2003]

14. SBG? nt

[tblue37]

15. Maybe Sinclair Broadcasting Group? (Just a guess.)

[Ford_Prefect]

18. Sinclair Broadcasting Group, the new Ministry of Public Enlightenment Channel.

Think of them as the new facist house media outlet for Trumpco et al, the video version of Clear Channel. Kusher struck a deal with them to carry all of Trump's news conferences and other coverage without commentary directly to the stations in the SBG, rather than depend on the regular networks or Cspan or CNN, or FOX.

Kushner: We struck deal with Sinclair for straighter coverage
By JOSH DAWSEY and HADAS GOLD 12/16/16 05:35 PM EST for Politico

Donald Trump's campaign struck a deal with Sinclair Broadcast Group during the campaign to try and secure better media coverage, his son-in-law Jared Kushner told business executives Friday in Manhattan.

Kushner said the agreement with Sinclair, which owns television stations across the country in many swing states and often packages news for their affiliates to run, gave them more access to Trump and the campaign, according to six people who heard his remarks.

In exchange, Sinclair would broadcast their Trump interviews across the country without commentary, Kushner said. Kushner highlighted that Sinclair, in states like Ohio, reaches a much wider audience — around 250,000 listeners — than networks like CNN, which reach somewhere around 30,000.

19. Thanks. nt

[suffragette]

24. Sinclair bought the local ABC station here in Seattle a few years ago, too.

[2naSalit]

6. Nails it again!

As usual. Thanks for posting!

[unblock]

7. i like the hypocrisy -- calling for loose libel laws while slandering journalists.

[rickford66]

8. Anybody notice something strange?

Our local Sunday paper, Press & Sun-Bulletin, consistently omits the first two frames. Occasionally the strip was a little weird until I found this out.

[n2doc]

9. That's actually pretty common.

Space, or some other reason. But the strip is generally drawn so that the first 2 panels aren't essential.

[rickford66]

10. So, other strips are handled the same way?

[n2doc]

12. No, but I don't know of other strips that use the same format

Also Doonesbury is one of the few that occasionally gets censored for being 'too political' for the comics pages.

[eggplant]

25. Yes, the standard is eight panels, with the first two usally a title and/or a throwaway panel.

[Hekate]

21. That seems to be the norm, for some reason. I look for the whole thing online.

[underpants]

11. Wow.

Did not expect the last panel

[Hekate]

22. That's Trudeau all over. Once he gets going, he does not pull punches.

[spanone]

16. K&R...

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

17. Bingo!

He (Trump) doesn't realize that he can't fight with all the media outlets. Should they decide to return to their roots and report on governmental mis conduct, he'll lose his mind......... and I'm ok with that!

[Ford_Prefect]

20. Don't be too sure about that. He's already secured SBG network to pipe his propaganda directly.

See post # 18 above

[Hekate]

23. I love what Trudeau does with the Mad King's hairdo: so much baldness underneath

I know the way Trudeau draws DT drives him crazy

[tosh]

26. +1.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

27. woa.

Damn.

[C Moon]

28. :D !

[Towlie]

29. It took me quite a while to get past the funny characterization of Trump and continue reading.

[Gothmog]

30. Another great Doonesbury strip
