Irrelevant? Hardly! You don't get to cry "hypocrite!" at tech bros unless you're free from hypocrisy yourself. Given how the WashPost refused to see Biden's mental decline until the June debate despite it being obvious to anyone with eyes, I have every right to be suspicious of her only being upset now that she can't depict the tech bros in a negative light.

 Those links would be great if I had a subscription but I don't: I get a big subscription window that covers much of the cartoon and doesn't let me scroll down to see the caption.

They're some of her Biden cartoons.  I arrived at the links via Google ("telnaes cartoon biden") and encountered no paywall.
However, *her* potential bias ("hypocrisy") isn't the issue here.  E.g., she could even be hired as Ultra-Liberal Attack Dog.  What's disturbing is the Voice From Above (Bezos? Trump?) exerting editorial censorship.
