I know the winner is enormously deserving, but I still find it hard to believe that this photo did *not* win the Pulitzer Prize in breaking news photography.

If didn’t find it astonishing ... they gave a Pulitzer to fake reporters for the fake Russian story. Fake begets fake.

True journalists should create awards for truly outstanding journalism. Pulitzer is so done.

So how did he know to bring that high-speed camera?

His "high speed camera" is a normal pro level camera. Nothing special.

Doug Mills, the guy who took the photo, is a well established, award winning news photog who knows that to get a photo published, it must "sharp".

Here is a youtube interview of him

The left does this, they promote quotes, famous people after their deaths, events, art and movies, historical figures that serve their narrative and just about or entirely disappear over time those that don’t.

Rush Limbaugh is being disappeared from history while George Carlin or Walter Cronkite is kept alive, JFK kept alive, heroic with youthful vigor, Nixon kept dark and sinister, while Reagan fades, Jackie Onassis kept regal, elegant and enchanting while Melania kept in sack cloths.

I estimate that bullet “streak” to be about two feet long. The 55 grain 5.56mm NATO bullet has a muzzle velocity of 3250 ft/s. Do the arithmetic, and you get a shutter speed of approximately 1/1625 second. My “pro-sumer” Nikon Z5 mirrorless camera has shutter speeds up to 1/8000 second. No “high speed camera” necessary; just a good, modern digital camera.

Could not have been any other contender for many many years, but certainly is no surprise.

I always thought the man ran for POTUS because he did well in America and he thought others could as well, given the opportunity.

You and York are being silly. This is like being surprised that the Academy Awards didn’t pick “Sound of Freedom” for best picture.

It is a rigged system where only the Obamas and Gores win pulitzers for doing nothing to deserve them. You should know that by now. Nothing relating to Trump will ever win a media or art or science or peace award from the Commie Left. That should be obvious.

They could take a picture of green men from outter space in the oval office with Trump and the picture would be panned by the Left as undeserving of an award.

That picture will be in a lot of history books.

I agree. Goes to show, everybody has an agenda.

Maybe, but, there's no guarantee the Trump hating teachers will allow it to be seen or even discussed.

That is a misleading headline, the photographer won for the sequence of Trump pictures, just not the single image.

I know the winner is enormously deserving, but

Then shut up, you CONservaweenis. Typical of these old white farts to sabotage their own point trying to look "fair" and "objective" and "gracious" when the other side will KILL YOU if they knew they could get away with it. And it is increasingly clear that they CAN.

That’s not a high speed camera, it’s just an ordinary camera on a bright day with fast exposure.

I’m pretty sure, within hours or days of the shooting, someone on here referred to that pic as easily Pulitzer worthy but would be ignored .
