Wait, it's snobbish to think that a business should be more than money and power? And this snobbishness is so damaging, so awful, that in a conversation about holding power to account, we should instead be thinking about putting the snobs in their place? How dare a cartoonist think that a business should be more than an instrument of money?

Like yo, I don't agree at all that news media should be held to a higher standard, absolutely not higher than Marlboro or DuPont (if they're supposed to be a wing of government then make it so!), but to think "Let's turn this conversation around. Instead of Jeff Bezos, it's time to put the magnifying glass on the snob cartoonist", I mean, okay, sure.

It really sounds like you’re part of the problem.
