Following its decision to award the 2018 Pulitzer Prize to a team of New York Times and Washington Post reporters who advanced the deranged Russiagate conspiracy theory, the Pulitzer Prize Board has come under pressure to rethink its decision. But on Sunday, the board said that two “independent” reviews had both concluded “that no passages or headlines, contentions or assertions in any of the winning submissions were discredited by facts that emerged subsequent to the conferral of the prizes.”
It is now well known that the entire Russiagate scam — claiming that Trump acted in cahoots with the Kremlin to steal the 2016 election — was cooked up by British and American intelligence, and by the Democratic Party. The lavishly supported, two-year investigation by Robert Mueller turned up nothing of consequence.
