I read that the New York Post offered a half- ***ed apology for their very offensive editorial cartoon that depicted two police officers shooting a chimpanzee and implying that a monkey could have drafted a better stimulus package.  Their apology was sort of “if we really offended you, we’re sorry but if you are only pretending to be offended and are really just trying to stir up trouble for us because you are our enemy, then we aren’t sorry at all!”

Then they go on to claim that they were not targeting the President, but Congress in general.  Well, since WE, THE PEOPLE elect ALL OF THEM to office, then WE SHOULD BE OFFENDED that they are telling US that we are pretty stupid to be electing a bunch of monkeys to run our government!  And if we ARE that stupid, who is to blame?  The NEWSPAPERS who did not give us enough information about the candidates who were elected!  If we are to be expected to elect people to run the country, we need to have enough information about them to make SMART decisions, and that responsibility SHOULD lie with the news media!
