From year 2018 the Pulitzer prizes is nothing worth and has lost all it's credibility forever, RIP Pulitzer.

[lauraspiroff]

So Pulitzer just called themselves out, it was never about quality reporting.

[aeromtb]

its the world we live in now, getting a top journalism award for cut and pasting fiction.

[crazyfroggie]

Going forward, saying you won a Pulitzer prize is going to have the same cachet as saying you work in a fast food outlet.

[logicresearch]

Another time honored award losing all credibility.

[adrianlatham]

Pulitzer, Nobel, WHO…all of these organisations are utterly contemptible

[dennisg]

The Pulitzer Prize just LOST any Meaning and Credibility that it ever HAD! Get an Award for Writing about Fake Stuff.

[brianchoma]

No confidence in the puliitzer. No credibility.

[tigerx]

Shame on them! This is disgusting. They are not qualified to be media.

[rossmeldrum]

"We would rather keep the lies and fiction than admit we were wrong and supported such drivel." Someone at the Pulitzer.

[CrimsonSurvival]

Patting themselves on the back for their own mistakes.

[mclblack]

even when Trump is not in office he makes things happen. Thanks president Trump! 🇺🇲👍

[reggiesegars]

So in reality they have a award for lying. How many writer's want a award like that following them around.

[Hard_Boiled_Entertainment]

"They didn't find anything that was factually wrong...." Seriously? That just says a lot about the Pulitzer committee

[forearmshiver]

Pulitzer Prize...The Milli Vanilli of Awards. Pulitzer, NYT and WP must be so proud of themselves.

Imagine being rewarded for making up an entire story.

[garymunro]

Hand them back in the name of decency. Pictures of the recipients please. These prizes have been more and more ridiculous as time went by

[georgepowe]

Oooooh!
So thats how you get one.
You have to be able to tell the BIGGEST LIES!

[jeffnay]

They should give Igor Danchenko the 'Pulitzer Prize' for best false reporting to the FBI and one to the FBI for paying him to do so. Because the Pulitzer Prize is now given out to the best false reporting.

[stenkarasin]

If they keep the prize under those circumstances, they completely discredit the prize.
