“He sees you when you’re sleeping, he knows what calls you make!” Who does old St. Nick work for this year?

Take an authorized peek at our holiday animation by Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Mark Fiore. It’s worth a good laugh — share the cheer and the link with friends — and on a sobering note, we think it’s right on the nose about one of the biggest and most crucial issues of 2013.

This year, the ground feels uncertain — facts are buried and those in power are working to keep them hidden. Now more than ever, independent journalism must go beneath the surface.
