Yes, you read that correctly.
One of the 3 articles that won The New York Times a 2017 Pulitzer prize is titled, ‘The Perfect Weapon: How Russian Cyberpower Invaded the U.S.’ dated December 13,2016.

This all sounds like a world class circle jerk to me.
What?
How corrupt can you get.
Best fiction?
Russia should win a Pulitzer prize for showing up the New York Times and the rest of the American press. The Wikileaks emails were all real news. Our press is only about 50-50.
Walter Duranty would be proud.
CNN was robbed. They should’ve gotten it for providing Hillary with the townhall questions in advance.
Fake prize for fake news. Pulitzer no longer has any credibility anyway.

No award for the “wiretap” headline story?
It’s obviously the Putzer Prize now....

These people live in a bubble.
It is. Another reporter got a Pulitzer for “investigating” Trump’s $6M for the Vets fundraiser, and finding out, why yes, Trump really did give that to vet groups.
Pulitzer Prize renamed. Now known as the Baron Munchausen Prize.
Fake Pulitzers for Fake News
The “Best Hoax Ever” award really isn’t an award that should make anybody proud. Well, the New Yawk Slimes maybe...
