Description
A pony spin on the classic "Dewey Defeats Truman" image.---
Spent way too much time on that stupid newspaper...
I was originally planning to submit this to the #MLP-ATG-Alumni week 5 theme with a certain shocked pony in a second panel, but got lazy and decided to just post as is. Oh well.
Now to get something for the week 6 topic...
EDIT:
Well kids, looks like a bit of A-mare-ican history is in order!

We'll have an exam on it tomorrow!

Uh, I'm confused. The Newspaper said that Derpy won, but the text in the news parody sign said that Mayor Mare won. Who won?

The description says it is based on a famous picture.
Anyone not American would not have a chance of understanding it.

Thank you.
I am very prevokeable when people question on what place I was born in.
And for clarity's sake, I was born in West New York, NJ, New Jersey.

Historical pony images? Win.
I love this. "Derpy" even looks like "Dewey" somewhat, and the Equestria Daily Tribune even looks a lot like it's Chicago counterpart.
Not to mention Mayor Mare seems to have an uncanny resemblance to Truman...

Wow, did she feel happy about it?!

I guess I should have added a bit of history to the description instead of letting others explain the joke in the comments...
After all, the buck stops here!
