Less than one year ago, the Washington Post and the New York Times won Pulitzer Prizes for coverage of something that, according to Mueller’s report, did not exist.

The leftist MSM and its anonymous sources are looking pretty stupid right about now.
Makes sense. The NYet Times won a Pul’tzer Prize in the 30s for fakenews about the wonders of Stalin’s USSR.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Duranty
Walter Duranty (May 25, 1884 – October 3, 1957) was a Liverpool-born, Anglo-American journalist who served as the Moscow Bureau Chief of The New York Times for fourteen years (1922–1936) following the Bolshevik victory in the Russian Civil War (1918–1921).
In 1932 Duranty received a Pulitzer Prize for a series of reports about the Soviet Union, eleven of which were published in June 1931. He was criticized for his subsequent denial of widespread famine (1932–1933) in the USSR,[1] most particularly the mass starvation in Ukraine. Years later, there were calls to revoke his Pulitzer. In 1990, The New York Times, which submitted his works for the prize in 1932, wrote that his later articles denying the famine constituted “some of the worst reporting to appear in this newspaper.”[2]
Duranty has been criticized for deferring to Stalin and the Soviet Union’s official propaganda rather than reporting news, both when he was living in Moscow and later. For example, he later defended Stalin’s Moscow Trials of 1938, which were staged to eliminate potential challengers to Stalin’s authority.[20]
If anyone EVER deserved a Pulitzer, it’s Sara Carter and John Solomon!
True dat! BUT, they have a better chance of hitting the lottery, tens times in a row.
Amen!
Sort of reminds me of Danny boy Rather and the special made up award he was given by his peers After he was fired for making up stories.
So basically Democrat fan-fiction.
Re: Pulitzer
I would like to add “Judicial Watch” to that list.
JW has used FOIA to extract more relevant documents from DOJ, FBI, and the State Department than all the other organizations and individuals combined.
the irony!

Sara Carter, John Solomon, Gregg Jarrett, Kimberley Strassel, Tom Fitton - top of my list.
“The leftist MSM and its anonymous sources are looking pretty stupid right about now.”
Not just now.
Actually, we all know now that the Pulitzer Prize IS a Fake News Award. and needs to be treated as such going forward.
They should be getting the Walter Duranty award instead.
And old man Pulitzer is spinning in his grave. What a disgrace.
ARE YOU DEMOCRATS FIRST AND JOURNALISTS SECOND? OR WHAT?
Oh gawd. Hillary Rodham Clinton wasn’t kidding where she says if she goes down, she’ll take half of Washington, DC with it. And it could end up taking down the Establishment Media companies in New York City, entertainment celebrities in New York City and Los Angeles, and the tech companies in the San Francisco Bay Area and the Seattle area in blink of an eye.
