Tony Doris, the editorial page editor of The Palm Beach Post, was fired after publishing a controversial cartoon about the Gaza war. The cartoon, deemed offensive by a local Jewish organization, sparked backlash and led to his termination by Gannett, the newspaper's parent company. Doris argues that the cartoon was antiwar and criticizes Gannett for lacking support for its journalists. Gannett stated that the cartoon did not meet their standards, but did not elaborate on their decision-making process.
