cartoons. and he's done something in response to charlie hebdo that i think is a brilliant slate of hand, pull the rug out from th under these people's job. and gary, could you walk us through what you've done. >> sure. sure. are we going to be seeing it back here? >> yeah. >> i suspect you can all read that clearly enough. the problem that i thought this presented for all of us as american cartoonists, at least c in talking with my colleagues, was that we were so am biff leaplyt professionally and don' really relate to the sat eric t culture of the french and we don't have a charlie hebdo in this country. and jules is more of the world of edgy cartooning just being in alternative newspapers his whole life. i had my career -- it was in li. family newspapers.ne so i have a different set of constraints and a different set of imperatives. and if talking with my colleagues, we agreed on a cole number ofag things. one, obviously, we're all horrified by these murders.hese more so because they were pa

there was a -- the thing i felt about the cartoon then and i feel about the cartoon now is it's not so much commenting on the particular political point at the moment, or with something that's happening in the news, it's bringing along an audience that has been groomed to think in a certain way and teaching them by the method of humor, and in my case panel by panel by panel how to think in a different way, how to look in a different perspective. how to consider another point of view. so it wasn't necessarily about slamming somebody over their head whether it was somebody i hated like nixon or someone else. it was making people think. it was all about -- because we -- much of our lives then and even more of our lives now we're being brainwashed. and to try to cut into that crap and point at alternative view and to do it through humor which took away the defensiveness of people who didn't -- who weren't about to love their point of view being attacked without, you know, saying -- getting defensive about it. well, if you're funny, they tend not to be defensive. so doing all of these thing

a strong and infective message describeds the cartoons of clay bennett who has drawn five cartoons a week since joining the snaf late 2007. his work is clean, concise, and to the point. simple to understand but not simple. our judge's panel saw elegant simplicity in clay bennett's work, clear drawings, clear messages. bennett's style is disarming and charming with a strong bite underneath. his humor is subtle and witty. ladies and gentlemen, it's an horror to present the winner of the national press foundation's 2015 clifford k. and james t. baron award for cartooning to mr. clay bennett. >> thank you very much for that. first off, let me thank the national press foundation for this wonderful recognition of my work. i feel very honored if not a little out of place to be included in such a distinguished group of journalists. maybe i'll seem more dignified if only by association. now next i should confess that i always get a little bit nervous on occasions like this. i think my anxiety all stems from this experience i had when i was asked to speak before the texas press association in

my one and only rule to cartooning is to try to make a cartoon insightful. now if i can't make it insightful, i try to make it funny. if i can't make it insightful or funny, you know, make it timely. needless to say, i draw a lot of timely cartoons. this one was actually very timely a couple months ago when i first drew it. now you might think i'm being kind of tough on myself. but, hell, being tough on myself might be all i have going for me. you see, i've always had this terrible infear or the complex when it comes to my own work. i realize after all there are a lot of cartoonists working today who are better artists than i am. and mr. tl are plenty of cartoonists who are funnier and more intelligent than me. so suffering as i do from such lo low cartooning self-esteem, i always try to compensate by a work ethic that borders on obsession. now in light of that, i would accept this honor tonight but not as a recognition of artistic talent, nor as a testament to any inherent wit or wisdom. i'll accept this award on behalf of neurotic insecurity. and the hard

no one publishes the cartoons, does he have a point. >> he has a point. this was a terrorist attack on a work place, where - going back to the work place, where your colleagues have been shot in cold blood. they did, as chris mentioned. they published after that, when they were probably at the most risk of continued attack. it's not about the cartoons, people in the market did nothing but be jewish. we have to look beyond the excuse of the cartoon, really, to the reason which is the fundamental hate that they have for the west, and their willingness to kill people. >> as it expands into the big universal scenes of freedom of expression, some said the wrong "charlie hebdo". if the satanic verses were published he said no one would come to my defense and they'd me. >> true. this is what satire is about. it offends people. so are they saying now, because we are intimidated and we lost lives, and we are free, that we will excuse the muslims, but have satire everywhere else. either it will be a satirical public cakes, you can't say i'll today. >> they are not

"charlie hebdo" says it will not publish more cartoons of the prophet muhammad. has intimidation worked. >> planned parenthood caught on tape haggling over the price of foetus procurement. do they have anything to apologise for. i'm imran garda. and this is "third rail" >>> we can do more to support the cuban people and promote our values through engagement. >> you don't break a mafia by doing business it. >> we gave away the store and got nothing in return. >> they have not made political reforms. >> do we want a china model perpetuating the slavery of the people. >> every economic traction strengthens the regime that is torturing the people. change. >> we are risking going backwards, instead of forward. >> isolating the country does want. >> for the last 54 years it's been a ? in few years you have a new generation taking over. >> human rights, value of democracy. that'll be on the agenda. >> to affect change in an it. >> tonight we have orlando, cofounder and national secretary. and ambassador vicky huddleston. former director of cuban affairs >>> thank you fo

a bunny that became more than just a cartoon character. (bites carrot) "what's up, doc?" companies began skirting the rules to get a piece of olympic action "the 1976 olympics is more than a match of the world's greatest athletes. it is also the battleground for the great sneaker war." and nearly a billion people tuned in for a fairytale wedding "and a radio and television audience representing something like twenty percent of the planet." those stories and more in a different kind of television experience, where we relive, remember and relate to the events and experiences that are cemented in history i'm ellee pai hong. and i'm kerry sayers. and i'm your host, bill kurtis. this is "through the decades." and i'm your host, bill kurtis. this is "through the decades." day after day here we play witness to the enormity of history, the power of people and events to shape our world and capture our attention as the calendar closed out on july, we "relive, remember and relate" to the accomplishments, the controversies, the iconic debuts and moret

here is a vivid cartoon from the 1860s. the great fear of the period, uncle sam may be swallowed by foreigners. this is looking from canada. you have the irish on the east coast. the chinese immigrant on the west coast. they are devouring uncle sam in a grotesque, horror-film way. this is the first panel. this is a multi-panel cartoon. in the end, the china man swallowed the irish man. if people had to choose who they thought was the most dangerous, they would choose the chinese. the irish are right behind them. we can see in this image the rapid and really shocking growth of the irish population in this mid 19th century period largely due to the famine. but we know that before the famine there were 45,000 irish living in new york city. it's -- this does not include their american-born children. it's 25%, 28% of people born in ireland. if you throw in their kids, you are talking 40% or 50% of the population. don't forget that one thing that's in that statistic is that these aren't just irish people. they're mostly irish cat

a bunny that became more than just a cartoon character. bugs bunny is a piece of american history and he made his very first appearance alongside elmer fudd in the short "a wild hare" july 27, 1940. "shhhh. be vewy, vewy quiet, i'm hunting wabbits." just a few moments after fudd's famous opening line, the cartoon hero popped into our lives and delivered his own. "what's up, doc?" it was the first time voice actor mel blanc would bring bugs to life. it was one of what would become hundreds of shorts, commercials and television shows starring the skinny, charismatic rabbit. bugs' trademark has always been his floppy-stalked carrots. however, that came from the mind of longtime "looney tunes" producer friz freleng. in an unpublished memoir, he said he got his inspiration for bugs from 1935 best picture winner "it happened one night" starring clark gable and claudette colbert. in one scene in particular, you can see why. "you better have one of these, best thing in the world for you, carrots." "can you imagine anybody acting like that? you kno

this might seem like a strange cartoon. it seems like china daily is trying to point to readers what a bear market is. a pessimistic market where prices fall encouraging selling. china daily is perhaps trying to explain to investors who are panicking, given what the events on the stock market. let's take a look at another cartoon in the independent today. a panda bear, representing the chinese stock market, taking a .umble while the world looks on very small umbrella, wondering what the effects of this will be. >> looking quite scared. in france papers are focusing on last week's attack -- boiled attack on the talus train -- foiled attack on the train. florence: the prosecutor gave details getting a lot of attention in france. prosecutor said there is no doubt the attack was a targeted and premeditated jihadist attack. the suspect is accused of carrying out a premeditated attack. at this press conference, the paris prosecutor said they had access to his telephone and the telephone revealed he had watched jihadist cup again

the main chinese paper, "china daily," focuses on the events in ferguson with its cartoon. they are talking about the issue of white police brutality on young black men. rights, issue of human and interesting cartoon coming from the official state paper in china. annette: other papers are arguing that there has been change since the events in ferguson. flo: a very interesting article today. that the events in ferguson really changed america. on august 9, 2014, the event that took place, this was not the first time this has happened, but this shooting was the straw that broke the camels back, according to slate. the events in ferguson brought to light the system and sparked a nationwide debate on race and police brutality, a debate that is still ongoing. why is this one event the one that sparked this wave of change? a lot of it had to do with social media, according to "late." ." according to "slate ferguson was like an earthquake, according to "slate," a tectonic shift in the debate on race and >8e; announcer: this is a production of china central television america. mike:

i have two cartoons i want you to look at first. what is the story being told here in these cartoons? what is going on? joseph. >> it appears that the first cartoon is meant to be a portrayal of america as a woman, maybe accepting after granting them their rights, she is explaining to a wounded soldier he is going to have to leave. dr. lee: it is a question. here you have a call to reestablish the union. let the former confederate states and citizens back into the union. we talked about this last class. the question is, shall i let in these former confederates? who acted against the united states. what about these men? these men who did not commit treason? these men sacrificed for the union cause. that is why to significant the character in the second cartoon is a union soldier. not just any union soldier. how does it indicate that sacrifice? how is the sacrifice indicated? >> it looks like he was wounded in battle so he served for his country. dr. lee: he is missing a leg absolutely. what you have during reconstruction. here, i am

and what is the title of the cartoon? >> statue for our harbor. >> in san francisco as opposed to new york. so in new york, they have the statue of liberty. if we with allow it to come without restriction. a couple of things jeremy just mentioned, we can recognize this as a chinese male. he has this long cue. this was a hair style that was mandated by the ching empire. in the united states it became seen as a sign of femininity, subhumanness he is wearing robes but they are tattered. this is not the classical greek figure. it has no dignity. he is standing on a school, meaning he is bringing ruin. does anyone see what he is holding in his left hand? >> it's an ohm yum pipe. >> another vice is bringing drugs and immorality. so there is writing emanating from the rays around his head. can anyone see what that is is? it is hard to see from the middle cartoon. >> the bottom right is filth. >> right. what else? >> eupl morality. >> good. >> disease. we're reading right to left as the chinese would, right? this one says ruin to

ghosts and cartoon characters and others -- >> go for it dave, you can say it! >> i'm kidding. you go to the federal database and see it all, it's pretty colorful. there's a practical implication. it's a very cash strapped agency, they don't have a lot of staff, relatively small, they really don't want to be bothered with having to do what effectively is required of them when somebody files no matter who they are, cartoon character or otherwise. they've got to process and report, they've got to follow up if necessary, it is something another drain in a small way on their very, very limited time and resources. >> what does it stop them from following forwards, there's another filing fee for being listed on the ballot? >> if you don't have cash you don't have a campaign. it's pretty difficult even in predominant social media attention, that you almost have to have to be a successful candidate in iowa, in new hampshire, all the other caucuses and primaries across the country. so when you are competing with the likes of the hillary clinton machine or the donald trump or jeb bush ma

the other interesting books that we have are actually cartoons. these are all, we don't have any modern day ones, but, again, when women were part of the military, world war ii, it was just very odd. vick herman was a pretty popular cartoonist at the time. his views, they're almost pin-uping, although a few were, you know, suddenly, she is outranking men which is pretty odd, but, you know, she is still quite girly. this person tends to be a little bit more -- i don't want to say realistic, but kind of realistic, more accurate depiction of what the day-to-day life was for the women. the last type of materials i'm going to show today and talk about are recruiting materials, so essentially we call them recruiting brochures and i think these are very important to show the met more know sis of women's role and perception in how you are trying to basically make it ok for society, but also make it appealing for women to join. >> in 1918, we were on the sidelines. >> when the war has been won, the women in the army will march shoulder to shoulder with the

. >> give us the opening illustration, cartoons in this book where you chose to begin. >> it's kinda strange the way the book progresses from front to back is almost identical to how i drew the entire thing. so the prologue that scene at the border, when that happened i was sitting in the back of a car and i happen to admit that the situation was so perfect, i immediately took took out my no pack and took down the conversation. >> so explain what you're doing, you are driving from juarez. >> correct we were driving lucia and her companion who is another activists, they often have meetings in el paso texas and it was a constant to and from between mexico and the us, this is just one of the meetings we're passing through the border. i think it was the first time i had been in the car with adam as well, and it was this random, border guard who struck up a conversation about global human rights politics with a line of about 300 cars behind us. so i felt that conversation was really fitting, a fitting intro, i i think i just got lucky they kinda talked about human rights in mexico. >> and

we will talk about the background about these cartoons. you get the basic idea. uncle sam standing up to corporate. standing up to the symbol for germany. a simple for britain. in the united states is a growing power. and wants to be more independent from other countries. this expresses its self one way in cordova some of us might know about it. sort of a brief reenactment of the boston tea party down in cordova. quite understandably people in cordova are wondering why are we importing coal from british columbia when we have so much in alaska? which is a good question. and something else - why are relying on coal from the british empire when we can use coal under the american flag? a brief flurry of articles about what these people in cordova do. they do get the government's attention perhaps in a small way it helps to further the conversation in washington, d.c. and so this article from june 5, 1915 noticed anchorage, the name and place right at the beginning. and how does the article begin? the first editorial piece about anchorage for was the very first senten
