While this is welcome news , it ’s still unfortunate that it took a undulation of internet protest to get the app ( almost ) reinstate . And as Fiore himself manoeuvre out to the Wall Street Journal , he ’s get “ preferential discourse ” because of his position and public awareness . Until Apple shift their anti - satire insurance policy in a comprehensive way of life , who knows how many other voices will be left out in the low temperature .
UPDATE : As call , Mark Fiore ’s NewsToons apphas been instated in the App Store . Still no Holy Scripture on any sweeping change in Apple ’s anti - satire insurance . [ WSJ ]
