Thanks for the links. I was unaware of the history. I also find it strange that the word "satire" has been appropriated by every news source reporting on the CH killings. Every time someone makes fun of something, it doesn't automatically count as satire. IMO, the best satire comes from a place of understanding or empathy with the subject of ridicule. I don't have a deep knowledge of CH and their cartoons, as I never even heard of it until last week, but my cursory scroll through their images doesn't lead me to believe that they are a "satirical magazine", as so often has been repeated. That doesn't make me sympathize with the victims any less, but it does make me pity the hapless media just a bit more than I already do.
