In itself, this profile doesn't mean that much. I wonder if many people will take the time to do any more than chuckle over the cover drawing, but taken with other indications of media disenchantment, it's looking more like the Democratic convention might be amusing for more than its meals of at least three of the following five colors: red, green, yellow, blue/purple and white (garnishes don‘t count).
