Dilbert comic strip creator Scott Adams experienced possibly the biggest repercussion of his recent comments about race when distributor Andrews McMeel Universal announced on Sunday it would no longer work with the cartoonist.

Media biased
The media previously was racist against non-white people, now they’re racist against whites and Asians. —Elon Musk, CEO twitter

In the February 22 episode of his YouTube show, Adams described people who are Black as members of “a hate group” from which white people should “get away”. Various media publishers across the US denounced his comments while saying they would no longer provide a platform for his work.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
