Mr. Levin makes two great points here. Why would anyone get an award for "journalism" when all they did was to "take dictation" from a perfectly willing source? It isn't like Priest had to dodge shot and shell to get the information. Hell, she didn't even have to hide in the parking garage to meet with "Deep Throat". So the award, in a real sense, was either intended for McCarthy, to show her how appreciated, loved and (if need be) protected she was. The same would apply to Priest, of course, in the sense that if she got tossed in the pokey along with McCarthy, she would have (in addition to an all expense paid legal "dream team") the protection of the "Pulitzer Prize Winner" moniker.
