[orange] Okay sure, we did massacre the economy and make ourselves look untrustworthy and unstable, but...

[zoom on orange grinning] We can now say slurs at work without facing consequences

[newspaper clipping] Corporate America embraces a new era of conservatism under Donald Trump. Bankers and financiers say that Trump’s victory has empowered those who felt they had to self-censor or change their language to avoid offending younger colleagues, women, minorities or disabled people. “I feel liberated,” said a top banker. “We can say [r-slur] and ‘pussy’ without the fear of getting cancelled . . . it’s a new dawn.”

[orange, celebrating] Worth it! I see this as an absolute win!

When referencing news media in this way, it's important to actually include the name of the publication or source so that people can go verify it themselves. You're not leaving them in a no mans land of uncertainty, unsure of what's true or not, and not opening yourself up to accusations of dishonesty or spreading misinformation.

In this case, and in others referencing print and written media, the name of the publication, title of the article, and the date it apprared would be included.

So it would be by Steff Chavez, published in The Financial Times, on Jan 15 2025 (the title of the article is redundant information as it appears in the comic).

Optionally a link people can visit might be handy:

That way you're showing people what the political reality is for certain, rather than leaving them in doubt or uncertain about what was actually published. But also, it keeps you honest too.
