“They Got a Pulitzer Prize for a Story that was 100% False!” – Lara Logan Slams Trump-Hating Garbage Journalists at NY Times and WaPo (VIDEO)
Gateway Pundit ^ | 05/14/2020 | Jim Hoft

The far left New York Times admitted this week that its “science and health reporter” Donald McNeil, Jr., went too far this week during an interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour. During the interview McNeil went on a tear against several members of the Trump administration. The New York Times said they discussed the issue with him.

Again, Donald McNeil, Jr. is the “science and health” reporter at the Times.

On Wednesday, Lara Logan weighed in on the state of the liberal mainstream media. Lara did not hold back and went as far as saying the Pulitzer winning reporters at The New York Times need to return their awards.


New York Times and Washington Post Pulitzer winners for their garbage Trump-Russia collusion hoax — From left: Maggie Haberman, Jo Becker, Matt Apuzzo, Rosalind Helderman, Tom Hamburger, Ellen Nakashima, Adam Entous, Greg Miller and Mark Mazetti accept the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting from Columbia University.

Lara Logan: How come The New York Times never makes a mistake that helps the Trump Administration? How come no other paper does that as well? And how come nobody cares about the fact that you got a Pulitzer Prize for a story that was 100% false? And then you went back to the same sources and you gave them a platform and let them justify and defend their actions? That reporters don’t know what the law says! They report on laws and don’t even know what they say. And one important point to make here. Grenell as DNI, he’s not unmasking anybody. He doesn’t have to follow those rules. He has to follow the law of declassification.

Lara left her co-hosts on Outnumbered speechless with her blatant honesty.

She is one of the few real journalists left.

2018: Staff, in National Reporting, for “deeply sourced, relentlessly reported coverage in the public interest that dramatically furthered the nation’s understanding of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and its connections to the Trump campaign, the President-elect’s transition team and his eventual administration.” (Received jointly with the Washington Post.)[13]

Despotism (Encyclopedia Britannica film, circa 1946)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaWSqboZr1w

“A community is low on a ‘Respect’ scale if common courtesy is withheld from large groups of people on account of their political attitudes.”

“...in a downright despotism opposition is dangerous whether the despotism is official or whether it is unofficial...”

“A community rates low on the ‘Information’ scale when the press, radio, and other channels of communication are controlled by only a few people and when citizens have to accept what they are told.”

“See how a community trains its teachers”
“...these students are being taught to accept uncritically whatever they are told. Questions are not encouraged.”

“And if books and newspapers and the radio [and facebook and youtube and...] are officially controlled the people will read and accept exactly what the few in control want them to. Government censorship is one form of control. The newspaper that breaks the government censorship rule can be suspended. It is also possible for newspapers and other lines of communication to be controlled by private interests...”

Democracy (Encyclopedia Britannica film, circa 1946)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bx25aMPvbJo

“The newspapers of a real democracy meet these tests...”

Newspaper checks.
1. Balance of coverage
2. Disclosure of source
3. Competence of staff

Pulitzer, Nobel Prize, Academy Awards - have all become fake awards, given to promote a narrow political and social agenda.

They did not get that prize for reporting what was going on, they got it as they were in a conspiracy to help a hoax.

The Pulitzer, the Nobel and a host of smaller prizes, awards and accolades, (Like Rhodes Scholers) are just political affirmations for liberals. They no longer have any other meaning.

“They Got a Pulitzer Prize for a Story that was 100% False!”

But the grammar and punctuation was outstanding!

Every award is political! No matter the platform.

Walter Duranty was a Pulitzer Prize winner whom the New York Times is still very proud of.

Maybe they thought the award was for fiction...?

Or maybe for satire?

Or maybe they could say they were just joking...?

The prize is for trashing Trump. The holy grail of journalists is toppling a REPUBLICAN president. They are still basking in the glory of what they did to Nixon .
