PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — There’s lots of news in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, but one thing you won’t find are the editorial cartoons of Rob Rogers.
“Rob is nationally known as an editorial cartoonist, a Pulitzer Prize finalist, somebody who is known way beyond Pittsburgh,” says Andrew Conte, director of Point Park University’s Center for Media Innovation.
But for six days in a row, Rogers’ often edgy, liberal and anti-Trump cartoons have been absent from the paper.
“The publication that is paying for the content is not actually running the content,” Conte said. “That’s definitely a highly unusual situation.”

This isn't too far from censorship, it just isn't government censorship.
