What was the biggest suprise of Election Day?



Pulitzer Prizes for journalism were just awarded and almost no one knew or cared.

Most Americans -- and even the “journalists” who seek these prizes -- have long-since realized that the prizes are awarded from a far-left Pulitzer committee to far-left “journalists” and writers. No one else need apply. As such, their luster, independence, and stature are a thing of the past.

“Conservative” journalists, columnists, and writers are shunned and openly discriminated against by the compromised individuals in charge of selecting the winners. Until the Pulitzer Committee at the Columbia Journalism School awards itself a prize for being “the most biased, unethical, and blatantly discriminatory committee in journalism,” it’s safe to say that the far-left prizes will continue to tarnish as they bring shame to what was once a noble thought.

Not surprisingly, the 2009 list of winners and nominees reads like a who’s who list of liberal “journalists” and writers. On the “journalism” side, the left-of-center New York Times claims the majority of awards with the left-of-center Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald and St. Petersburg Times grabbing a piece of hardware that simply confirms their bias.

The Pulitzer Prize for Commentary went to Eugene Robinson of The Washington Post. This would be the same Eugene Robinson who spends most his air-time on MSNBC trying not to get caught bowing and scraping before Keith Olbermann, as he rushes to agree with everything the mercurial cable host says least Olbermann throw a hissy fit and dispose of him the way he did with Robinson’s Washington Post colleague Dana Milbank.

Sensing a trend here, the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for Biography went to MSNBC contributor Jon Meacham. That would be the same Jon Meacham who has let Newsweek magazine become the propaganda arm of the Obama White House and the Democrat controlled Congress. Continued...

Joke
The Pulitzer has long since lost any luster that it may have had. It's now a leftist/socialist/Marxist JOKE. It certainly doesn't have my respect.

Libs chiming in
What's brown and sounds like a bell? Dung

Libtards listen up, most intelligent people here could care less about these self-aggrandizing self important nobodys of so called journalism. The "Onion" is better written than 90% of the urban daily news rags in this country. What does that say for "higher" education? True Journalism is as dead as the NY Times and the rest of the canary cage liners! Waste of good kindling IMHO...

Oh teleprompter whatever shall I say today?
