Journalism is a joke. It’s only fitting that the Pulitzer prize awards should also be a joke.
Since journalism has been replaced by activism and viral videos, the Pulitzers provided a special citation to the woman whose viral video featured George Floyd’s overdose death.
There are awards to the Star Tribune for helping incite the race riots after Floyd’s overdose death, with finalists from the Courier-Journal for helping incite BLM race riots after Breonna Taylor was shot and killed due to her drug dealer boyfriend.
The prizes this year are heavily focused on police-bashing and pro-crime advocacy. In one of the more revealing awards, The Marshall Project, a pro-crime advocacy group, a non-profit funded by a hedge fund manager, gets an award because they’re not even pretending to be anything other than advocates now.
Strikingly, in the year of the pandemic, only one of the awards for written journalism goes to actual coverage of the pandemic. (And not for any of the civil rights issues involved either.)
Tens of thousands of nursing home patients died because Democrat governors, including Cuomo, forced nursing homes to accept infected COVID patients. But that just gets you to be a finalist.
Here’s the finalist.
Staff of The Wall Street Journal for a series of stories documenting how nursing home residents were hit particularly hard by the coronavirus pandemic partially due to improper decisions from government officials
Here’s the winner.
Awarded to the staffs of The Marshall Project, Alabama Media Group, The Indianapolis Star and the Invisible Institute for a yearlong investigation of K-9 units and the damage that police dogs inflict on Americans.
Could anything better sum up the contemptible state of “journalism” today than burying nursing home patients, both literarily and metaphorically, in favor of bashing police dogs.
