Pulitzer, Nobel prizes and others have become nothing more than the left rewarding those they like and punishing those they dont.

Its sure worth a prize to answer the phone from the CIA and print exactly what they say. Is the Pulitzer prize for the best propagandist. Maybe it should be named the Goebbels Prize.

The Pulitzer by original definition is based upon political activism, not objectivity or integrity.

The Divided Plantation:

Perhaps most brilliantly, the system has convinced its slaves to fight each other instead of recognizing their shared bondage.

As explored in “Divided We Fall,” the same forces profiting from your labor also fund the narratives that keep you arguing with your neighbors. The most effective plantation is one where the slaves police each other.

The protesters, who storm the Capitol think they’re fighting tyranny while carrying tracking devices that record their every move.

Activists who march for social justice organize through apps that harvest their data while promoting policies that expand surveillance. Both sides livestream their ‘resistance’ on platforms owned by their oppressors.

The genius isn’t in the politics—it’s in ensuring that no matter which side you choose, you’re still feeding the machine that enslaves you.

True? It’s not an award for fiction?

“When was the last time a Pulitzer was awarded to a reporter for a story that turned out to be true?”

This may be a postulate impossible to verify. Many of the stories awarded the prize can go for years without being proven to be faulty or fraudulent, so the number may be greater than we think. The reputation of the prestige of the Pulitzer Prize may be tarnished beyond repair.

People who play stupid games get stupid prizes.
