I sort of agree, Ray. But I think that Asmussen uses Palin’s daughter as the entry point to lampoon the absurdity of other news stories … and never really makes a judgment on the girl or her actions. Just the fact that she is pregnant.

You are right, MrNavyBean. Still, while I didn’t object to his embarrassing public figures for the sake of humor (the “wide stance” clown comes to mind), I think 17 year old girls who have made a life-changing mistake should be off-limits. He could’ve had some fun with her mom’s hairdo, for example. (Still…the “cuter…Chinese tot”) headline was ingenious. :-)

What a hypocritical world we live in, we give up our moral values and then condemn one for getting caught. (I personally think we should have compassion on her & not see how far she can be pushed…) People are heartless!

From Ann Coulter to aspiring Hollywood starlets, to The Da Vinci Code, to President Bush, this comic puts is own spin on current events not limited to the world of politics. Bad reporters like Jayson Blair and Stephen Glass blurring the lines between fact and fiction, Bad Reporter promises to expose "the lies behind the truth, and the truth behind those lies that are behind that truth."

I’ve enjoyed this strip very much for this past year. Asmussen has consistently come up with really brilliant ideas, But these fall way short of his other work. They seem to be merely mean. That’s never good humor, especially at the expense of a 17-year-old who is surely extremely distressed by all this.
