Pulitzer Prize-Winning Media Malpractice: Russian Hoax Confirmed by the Durham Report
PJ Media ^ | 05/16/2023 | Greg Byrnes

Seven years later, we learn from Special Counsel John Durham’s report what was obvious seven minutes into this nonsense: The Russian hoax story was a childish prank. The puerile document was created by political opponents of Donald Trump. Duh — and double duh. Those who perpetuated it helped avert peace abroad and destroy tranquility at home. Divide countries, divide the public, and engender paranoid hate; that’s one heck of a prank.

In 2016 this Hilary Clinton paid-for schlock piece of fabulist political fantasy was discussed in a White House briefing. Were these a confederacy of dunces, devils, or serious intelligence analysts? You be the judge.

But, alas, there is a pretty wide consensus in the news business that the Washington press corps is the worst in the business. In Washington, it is more about them than about who, what, where, why, and when reporting. The politicians come and go, but they stay; they matter. The class nerds turned power-drunk Roman emperors are running this show. Thumbs up, and your career lives. Thumbs down, and these keyboard gladiators are free to destroy the good name of the man silly enough to color outside the approved lines. By the time they are done with you, there will be little enough for the lions to eat.

How else do you explain a Pulitzer Prize to the Washington Post and the New York Times for its stories premised on the Russian hoax being a true roadmap to a scoop?

Here is how the Pulitzer Prize describes its National Reporting Award for 2018, “Staffs of The New York Times and The Washington Post”:

The New York Times won the Pulitzer (quote) :

For deeply sourced, relentlessly reported coverage in the public interest that dramatically furthered the nation’s understanding of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and its connections to the Trump campaign, the President-elect’s transition team and his eventual administration. (The New York Times entry, submitted in this category, was moved into contention by the Board and then jointly awarded the Prize.

Malpractice isn't the right word.

They resemble this guy, even if they don't wear the armband:

“....Those who perpetuated it helped avert peace abroad and destroy tranquility at home. Divide countries, divide the public, and engender paranoid hate......”

But that is exactly what Donald Trump us charged with!! Is it possible the media, Dems and deep-state Republicans (plus a bunch on FR) have been hounding the wrong entity???

Trump is clearly the most persecuted politician in history. The power structure has made an example of him for anyone else wanting to challenge the big-money powers running things from the back room.

What will the unintended consequences of this fraud upon our nation? The world?

They “won” but history has shown (just as in physic) for every action there is a reaction.

Since predicting the future is a job for fools I can not say what the reaction will be nor if it will be good or bad only that there will be one.

Looks like I could maybe score a Pulitzer for writing a story about the neighbor’s dog & how he disgraced my lawn IF I could draw the attention & approval of the MSM.
