At last report (thanques, John),
Sean Delonas is still drawing
editorial cartoons at the New York Post
so we may conclude that the Sharpton Faction has not, yet, forced Rupert Murdoch
to fire his vitriolic penman. 
Which is not to say that nothing is transpiring
on that front. Joined by the Rev. Al Sharpton, who lead the charge,
representatives of the National Urban League and 100 Black Men of America, and
NAACP met with Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. executives on May 19, urging that
something be done to diminish if not eliminate the atmosphere of racism that
these groups saw in the Post and
elsewhere in Murdoch’s empire. In response, reported the Associated Press’
Jesse Washington, News Corp. agreed to form an external diversity council in New York City that will
meet with senior company executives twice a year. It also will include a
statement of commitment to diversity in its annual report. Jack Horner, a
spokesman for News Corp., said similar diversity advisory boards already exist
in Chicago and Los Angeles. "This is an expansion of
what we've had elsewhere," Horner said. "The key is we're always
responding and learning from our communities."
