Arms from Trump and Bari Weiss cut the red words Freedom of Speech above three CBS circles with varying eye states. The left CBS eye is open, the middle is squinted, and the right is solid dark. The image responds to ongoing tensions over media coverage and press freedom involving CBS and public figures.
The cartoon shows a figure labeled Iran in desert robes holding a rifle and standing on a pizza slice marked with a crescent moon. A speech bubble has the figure saying holding the Strait of Hormuz is like taking a hostage which is kind of our thing. The scene is set against palm trees and sand dunes. It responds to ongoing concerns about Iran and shipping routes in the Persian Gulf as of late May 2026.
