Because nothing shouts "Civilized Democracy!" like a dictator executing citizens in public (regardless of the citizen, it is definitely a scare tactic).

Putin and Trump Target the Press by Pat Bagley
The image is a political cartoon depicting a scene of violence against the press. In the foreground, a figure representing a journalist lies on the ground, appearing to be shot or attacked.

The overall composition places the victim in the foreground and the two powerful figures behind, highlighting their perceived roles in the incident. The cartoon uses exaggerated features for the caricatures to convey their identities and intentions. The color palette is muted, with the exception of the bright red tie and ribbon, which draws significant attention and emphasizes the theme of violence. The artist's signature "BAGLEY" and we…
