Ann Telnaes resigns from her position at the Washington Post after refusing to publish a satirical cartoon depicting Jeff Bezos and other media and technology barons kneeling before Donald Trump .

The cartoon criticizes the billionaire tech and media chief executives who have been doing their best to curry favor with the president-elect.

The Post ’s opinions editor, David Shipley , said he disagreed with her “interpretation of events” and that “the only bias was against repetition”.
