Congrats, guys!
A "our one party media rewards its own" ping!
They give Pulitzers for creative writing? Learn something new everyday.
LOL. I've see a few of the awards. It emerges that there are some consistent criteria: be on the scene of something and then misinform about what is happening, or tell some really big lies about this Administration.
This prize based on wet dream lies, is another example of why the fish wraps in America are going down the drain.
It's not the accuracy of the reporting, it's the seriousness of the charge.
Frog, do me a favor and post that picture of tripe on this thread...where it is more appropriate in regards to the propaganda rag that one the pulitzer...
Yeah, and that vile Wash. Post reporter Robin Givhans, who writes about "fashion" i.e. slams Laura Bush, won one as well. BARF...

I must be gettin old..... I remember when winning a Pulitzer meant something.
Media Schadenfreude and Media Shenanigans PING
Media Schadenfreude and Media Shenanigans PING
There's no truth in the news, and no news in the truth...
Think their new moto should be "News that's Fit to Invent", how about you?
That, and the sports section is generally reliable!
It is predictable that the Times-Picayune would get a Pulitzer
as an expression of sympathy masquerading as an award for excellence.
Giving the Pulitzer to these guys is a bit like giving the Academy Award to the Brokeback Mounting. It doesnt mean a thing any more , just political BS by those handing it out.
Looks like the Pulitzer has about as much credibility as the Nobel Peace Prize.
I think it was NOLA that was the good guy.
