Letters

As usual, I was thumbing through my copy of last week’s Southampton Press, July 24, and had to stop and take a second look at the paper’s choice to print a rather large political cartoon, on page A15, which is not unusual — but this one was.

In my many decades of being an advertiser and subscriber, this was something I had never seen before, and hope I never do again.

There it was, on full display: a cartoon with strong sexual overtones. In my opinion, I always thought of The Southampton Press as a family newspaper to be read and seen by all ages. Perhaps I am wrong. Has The Southampton Press lost its moral compass by displaying the naked derrière of our sitting president with an extremely negative sexual message plastered on it?

Maybe appropriate for another publication like “The Enquirer” but not the long-published Southampton Press … or is it?
