Rupert Murdoch Apologizes For Chimp Cartoon

Posted on February 25, 2009

New York Post publisher and media mogul Rupert Murdoch published a rare apology yesterday about a controversail New York Post cartoon. The cartoon shows a violent chimp being shot dead by police. Critics argue that the cartoonists is portraying the chimp in the cartoon as President Barack Obama because one of the police officers in the cartoon says of the dead chimp, "They'll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill." Al Sharpton says Murdoch's apology is not enough.
