# "Judging the News" - July 2, 1927 This page satirizes contemporary news items through brief commentary and cartoons. **Top cartoon**: Shows figures examining what appears to be early aviation or broadcasting equipment in a futuristic landscape labeled "JUDGE" - likely mocking sensationalized reporting about new technologies. **Bottom cartoon** ("Suffering fish, woman! Hot soup this weather!"): Depicts an igloo scene with people apparently cooking soup during an Arctic expedition. This likely satirizes either Lindbergh's recent trans-Atlantic flight (mentioned in text) or polar exploration expeditions then in public headlines. The absurd juxtaposition of making hot soup in extreme Arctic conditions appears to mock expedition reporting or survival claims. The text discusses radio broadcasting's growing popularity, scientific announcements, and references to Lindbergh's achievement as proof of American exceptionalism—all contemporary 1927 topics being treated with editorial mockery.
