Note his reference to "copyrighted cartoon." Sorry Mr. Pride, I think the "fair use" exemption applies. Actions have consequences, and you soon may see them in calls to your advertisers.

I think it was a fair mea culpa. It was sincere and thought out. Not snide or condecending. No harm no foul as far as I am concerned. Your reference to his point about the copyright misses the entire reason for the outrage and his subsequent and correct reaction.

When we decided to run the cartoon, I did not even consider this possibility...of it being seen by the world. We thought we could hide it and have our own little laugh, but those folks at Free Republic found this and made us pay.
Good job, folks!

That was my thought pattern with Marland's Bush cartoon. I thought that rejecting the cartoon would be censorship. No, censorship would be removing the cartoon from your web site as if it never ran.

You're right. Maybe I'm being too cynical. My reaction to the reference to the "copyrighted cartoon" was that he was trying to cover himself, or put the blame on those who distributed the cartoon. My comment referred to the issue that FR is having with the Washington Post and the LA Times: namely, that the "fair use" doctrine allows copyrighted material to be reproduced for the purpose of discussion.

Excellent post! I hope our cumulative outrage had an effect on him. Apology accepted on my part, and he did point out that due to the internet, he doesn't edit his paper in a vacuum. Gotta give him some credit for a smidgen of intellect there. I'm glad there was a formal rejection of the 'toon. Thanks, FReepers...

Notice he didn't apologize to the victim's families.
I so hope that Rush talks about this Monday.

"...enough time had passed for the wounds of Sept. 11 to heal and for the terrorist attacks to take their place in the long history of political satire." Not even close doofus.

How about that. Someone who actually knows how to apologize by saying he is sorry. The man admitted he made a mistake, and seemed to do it sincerely, unlike most public figures who claim they are apologizing but never actually say the word "sorry."

"The decision to run Mike Marland's Friday editorial cartoon was mine alone, and it was a mistake." Takes responsibility. Admits error.
Mike Pride must not be a liberal. Not an unsalvageable one, anyway.

If he were an honorable man he would resign because of his stupidity or lack of editorial oversight. If the publisher wanted him back, I suppose he could re-hire him. Liberals seldom do the right thing, however.
