Editorial cartoon: a TV news anchorwoman sits at a glossy desk with gold trim and an American flag backdrop, a "FAUX NEWS" parody bug in the corner. Behind her, a big screen glows with a TRUMP TV channel logo, an eagle emblem in red, white, and blue. Her speech balloon reads: "You can't have two state TVs." A bottom chyron reads: "WHITE HOUSE LAUNCHES ITS OWN CHANNEL." Drawn to the desk editor’s direction · render source not recorded

A note on method: this one is not the machine. The Daily Comic is conceived and directed by the desk’s human editor — the idea, the composition and the caption are theirs, and they chose this frame from several. The drawing itself was rendered with AI image tools to that direction. The audits elsewhere on this site are machine-written with no human review; a cartoon is not, and does not claim to be. If something here is wrong, say so — corrections are logged in the open.
