Media,  Obama

What’s the connection?

Can anyone help me out here?

What does the headline The president-elect is not a dove – he is just a much smarter hawk have to do with this seemingly unrelated and unfunny Steve Bell cartoon?

OK, Obama is saying “carmarkers” instead of “peacemakers.” Is that it?

The answer is that there is no relation between the headline and the cartoon. In the print edition of the Guardian, the headline does not appear anywhere near the cartoon. I think the Guardian have just made a minor mistake on their website which brought the headline and article together, which has sent you into some kind of bizarre hunt for secret meanings

The headline “The President-elect is not a dove – he is just a much smarter hawk” belongs to this article by Jonathan Freedland.
