Opinion page cartoon contained disinformation
Public Forum.jpg
I suspect I am on Facebook too much, because when I saw the editorial cartoon the Great Bend Tribune published on March 10, 2021, I expected their fact check, “this is partially false information,” screen to suddenly flash over the graphic. The cartoon said that the Republicans had delayed the COVID relief bill again, and implied that those suffering because of it weren’t amused. I call disinformation because of the fact that the Republicans had been trying hard for months to get another COVID relief bill passed, only to have their efforts stymied because the Democrats insisted on adding hundreds of billions of dollars in pork, which the Republicans rejected.
