Let it die. Millions of trees will be saved.

I read this fantasy that the Times only recently went hard left which is BS. Walter Duranty won a Pulitzer in the 1930s writing fawning pieces on Stalin as Uncle Joe starved 6 million Ukrainians. Duranty knew it and knew Stalin was a monster.

Yes. Contrary to what this article suggests, winning a lot of Pulitzer Prizes is usually a mark of shame, not of quality.

It’s like the Nobel Peace Prize. Maybe once in 5 or 10 years they give it to someone who deserves it, but that’s more the exception than the rule.

And there are few more incestuous relationships than the NYTimes and the Columbia School of Journalism. Essentially they are giving the prize to themselves.
