Right-wing cartoonist Michael Ramirez joins WaPo on contract?

He's apparently joined Telnaes, de Adder, Pritchett and Rosen on contract? Is this being driven by owner Bezos who's eased out publisher Ryan by creating a job for him last week? Ramirez is definitely not in the tradition of Herblock and Toles, who were independent parts of the editorial team staff. And they have 5 cartoonists on contract, AFTER they terminated their syndicate, the WPWG, this year?


Anyway, read DD on the facts, not my speculation.
