New York Post Protests



Spike Lee joined the Rev. Al Sharpton on the picket line outside the News Corp. building in Manhattan on Friday (02/20), to protest a New York Post cartoon that critics believe depicts President Obama as a chimpanzee.

The New York Post cartoon depicts two police officers shooting a chimpanzee, with the caption, “They’ll have to find someone else to write the stimulus bill.”

About one hundred supporters marched in circles outside the New York Post (owned by Rupert Murdock’s News Corp.) headquarters on Sixth Ave., holding signs calling for a boycott of the tabloid.
