· 2026-08-22T01:12:31+00:00This cartoon from my colleague @fisgonmonero is going to circulate through the networks for a long time to always remember the true face of @DerechaDiarioMX
AI visual analysis: The image is a political cartoon by "El Fisgón" that appropriates the logo of "La Derecha Diario México" (a Mexican right-wing news outlet), replacing the letter "D" with a profile portrait of an older, bespectacled man with a stern expression.

The cartoon's critical tone aligns with the post by @fisgonmonero, which frames the image as a lasting reminder of the "true face" of @DerechaDiarioMX, implying the man depicted represents the outlet's ideological leadership or figurehead.
