The mainstream press was also a target in Posada’s day. This satirical broadside shows bicycle-riding calaveras representing various newspapers who compete in a headlong race. Comically and symbolically attired, the competitors include the Roman Catholic daily El Tiempo , who wears a mitre and appears as Father Time, and El Partido Liberal , who wears a Phrygian cap. Español: La prensa dominante fue también objeto de duras críticas durante la época de Posada. Esta satírica hoja volante muestra a un grupo de calaveras en bicicletas. Cada una representa a un periódico particular compitiendo desesperadamente en una apurada carrera. Ataviados con vestimentas cómicas y simbólicas, entre los competidores se encuentran el diario católico El Tiempo, que luce una mitra y cuya imagen remite a la figura del mítico padre del tiempo Cronos, y El Partido Liberal, que porta un gorro frigio.
