Cartoons: comments on recent news

There's an interesting piece of news today, Folks.  Jeff Bezos, founder and CEO of Amazon.com, just bought the Washington Post.  His purchase and recent buy-outs of other newspapers are discussed in this article published by Forbes.  Here's a related cartoon, found at The Week and by Adam Zyglis; it's titled "Print Media's Future."
