Cartoonist Sean Delonas of the Murdoch-owned NY Post is under fire for a cartoon depicting two police officers shooting a chimpanzee. The incident refers to a pet chimp which attacked a woman in Connecticut before being shot.
News Corp chief, Rupert 'Dirty Digger' Murdoch:
I have had conversations with Post editors about the situation and I can assure you, without a doubt, that the only intent of that cartoon was to mock a badly written piece of legislation. It was not meant to be racist, but unfortunately, it was interpreted by many as such. We all hold the readers of the New York Post in high regard and I promise you that we will seek to be more attuned to the sensitivities of our community.
