So now the Pulizer prize has joined the Nobel prize in irrelevance.

[Tell It Right]

The Pulitzer prize has always been about make-believe. It's very origin was because Pulitzer gained notoriety for stirring up the public to demand we go to war with Spain. Why? Because Pulitzer falsely convinced the public that Spain-controlled Cuba had blown up the USS Maine.

It was never about accuracy. It was always about fictional activism.

The Pulitzer Prize has been suspect for years. Everybody on the juries takes their lead from the Times and the Post and is in awe of them, so those papers get the prizes.
