He has worked at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Fayetteville (nC) Times, and the St. Petersburg Times. Bennett lost his job at the St. Petersburg paper, he and supporters contend, because of his political views. As he notes, Obviously, expressing your point of view can cost you your job, a reminder that cartoons are anything but innocent fun.
