The Pulitzers should be renamed "The Jason Blairs" or "The Janet Cookes"

Why the surprise? The NYT still hangs the Pulitzer on its wall that it “won” for covering up Stalin’s starvation mass-murder of the Ukrainians.
They have never changed.

Why outrage? These awards are all political now. They give them out to people who write about the fantasies they wish were actually true.

Why not just call it the “PUTZ PRIZE”?

More like “The Linda Blairs”.
Every time I hear who they gave them to, my head spins round in circles, and I want to puke.

We need to deemphasize the Nobel prize and the Pulitzer prize as they are both so political and do not represent genius or impartiality, if they ever did.

De emphasize? We need to start laughing every time we hear either award mentioned. I don’t mean polite titters, I mean outright belly laugh. Make people embarrassed to admit they were even nominated for one.

Be patient. NYT Co. is headed toward penny stock status, and this time next year you’ll probably be able to find Putz Sulzberger’s pulitzers on a yard sale table somewhere on Long Island.

It’s the primary target or political objective that is of greatest importance, not the accuracy or truthfulness of the story.
To: PurpleMan
The Pulitzer Prize has been devalued by politics to a point where it is today the journalistic equivalent of a Grammy Award.

for a story discredited by an independent investigation When are all these upper-crusters going to realize these ‘prestigious awards’ are really nothing more than popularity contests at the intellectual masterbater's club?

You should because if you don’t discredit them they will remain credible to millions how think they are (and will continue to vote for BHO)
