American Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who served as managing editor of Reuters from 2011 to 2016, Paul Ingrassia, has reignited the fiery debate over what it means to be a “natural born citizen” under the U.S. Constitution—a debate with significant implications for potential presidential candidate Nikki Haley. Published on American Greatness, Mr. Ingrassia, a Law Clerk, a two-time Claremont Fellow, and a member of President Trump’s National Economic Council, meticulously examined the constitutional provision that has been at the heart of eligibility controversies involving political figures from John McCain to Kamala Harris. At the core of his argument is Article II,...

[M]edia polling from Harvard-Harris showing that Americans hold almost diametrically opposing viewpoints from those that news corporations predominantly broadcast as the official "truth." Americans have correctly concluded that [with the "Russia Hoax" and suppressing reported influence peddling in Hunter Biden's laptop ] journalists and spies advanced a "fraud" on voters as part of an effort to censor a damaging story and "help Biden win." Nevertheless, The New York Times and The Washington Post have yet to return the Pulitzer Prizes they received for reporting totally discredited "fake news." "Under the current approach to journalism, it is the New York Times...

This week, the four year investigation overseen by Special Counsel John Durham was published. It revealed that the Democrat claim that Trump colluded with Russia to win the 2016 presidential election was a fabrication concocted by the Clinton campaign to discredit Trump and carry her to the White House. The FBI knew the collusion claim was false, yet improperly spent public resources to promulgate this hoax, spy on Trump, and persecute his supporters. The media also knew the collusion allegation to be false, but still spent years pushing this lie because they hated Trump and the policies he advocated for...

Both the far-left New York Times and Washington Post refuse to return Pulitzers for spreading the lie former President Trump colluded with Russia to win the 2016 presidential election. Would Hitler return a fake Pulitzer? Now that the Monday release of the Durham Report has debunked every facet of the Russia Collusion allegation and proved the whole thing was a politically-motivated smear campaign invented by Hillary Clinton, blessed by Barack Obama, and furthered by the FBI, there have been numerous calls for these left-wing outlets to return their fake Pulitzers.

Seven years later, we learn from Special Counsel John Durham’s report what was obvious seven minutes into this nonsense: The Russian hoax story was a childish prank. The puerile document was created by political opponents of Donald Trump. Duh — and double duh. Those who perpetuated it helped avert peace abroad and destroy tranquility at home. Divide countries, divide the public, and engender paranoid hate; that’s one heck of a prank. In 2016 this Hilary Clinton paid-for schlock piece of fabulist political fantasy was discussed in a White House briefing. Were these a confederacy of dunces, devils, or serious intelligence...

During the House Oversight Committee press conference on the Biden international business enterprise, Rep. Byron Donalds cut to the heart of the matter: **SNIP** I had the ability with Chairman Comer and other members of this committee to go over to the Treasury building and review documents. Having read those documents, one thing became pretty clear: there were many people who had serious questions about the transactions and about the velocity of these transactions, and they either went very deep into concealment, hiding money, shifting money, and for the purpose, we don't know. One thing the American people and the...

This many high-profile failures in such a short time makes winning a Pulitzer look definitively like a mark of ignominy.The way the Pulitzer Prizes work seems simple enough – an Ivy league university hands out annual awards that ostensibly recognize important journalism. In practice, however, my former colleague Phil Terzian, a Pulitzer finalist who has served on the nominating committee, described the inner workings of the Pulitzers this way:The Pulitzer Prizes are a singularly corrupt institution, administered by Columbia University and the management of the New York Times largely for the benefit of the New York Times and a limited...

Remember all that political hay the far left and its media allies made during the Vietnam War about the wickedness of America's South Vietnamese ally and the importance of abandoning that country to the communists? Here's the Pulitzer Prize-winning AP photo that was supposed to prick our consciences and make us turn against that "immoral" war against a communist takeover: There's no doubt about it, the photo is hard to look at. It's crude, rough, wartime justice, a picture of South Vietnamese Police Captain Nguyễn Ngọc Loan coldly executing Viet Cong Captain Nguyễn Văn Lém. The film is even harder...

Former President Donald Trump has filed a defamation lawsuit against the Pulitzer Prize board for jointly awarding the New York Times and Washington Post the 2018 National Reporting prize over their coverage of the Russian collusion scandal. Trump’s lawsuit, filed Tuesday in Okeechobee County, Florida, claims that the “demonstrably false connection was and remains the stated basis” for the papers’ award-winning coverage, Fox News reported. “A large swath of Americans had a tremendous misunderstanding of the truth at the time the Times’ and the Post’s propagation of the Russia Collusion Hoax dominated the media,” the complaint states. “Remarkably, they were...

The Pulitzer Prize Board on Monday announced it is standing by awards given to the New York Times and Washington Post for their reports on the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax. “In the last three years, the Pulitzer Board has received inquiries, including from former President Donald Trump, about submissions from The New York Times and The Washington Post on Russian interference in the U.S. election and its connections to the Trump campaign–submissions that jointly won the 2018 National Reporting prize,” the organization’s statement reads. “These inquiries prompted the Pulitzer Board to commission two independent reviews of the work submitted by...

The New York Times' stock is down 40% in the past year, drawing the attention of former President Donald Trump on Tuesday."Wow! The Failing New York Times is really failing now: Down more than 40%, and heading lower. Fake news!" Trump wrote Tuesday on Truth Social.Trump's rebuke also comes after the Times managed to suggest Trump's 49% support in its latest poll for the top 2024 GOP presidential candidate means "half" of GOP voters were "ready to leave Trump behind."A look under the headline dripping with activism did not mention Trump is actually a 24-point favorite over his closest challenger,...

The Pulitzer Prize Board gave the 2018 award for National Reporting jointly to the New York Times and Washington Post. The recognition was for their reporting on the alleged conspiring, coordination, and collusion between the Donald Trump presidential campaign and the Russian government with the goal of electing Trump president at the expense of Hillary Clinton. The papers implied Trump and many in his inner circle were beholden to Vladimir Putin. In bestowing the award, the Pulitzer judges praised the two papers. The judges wrote “For deeply sourced, relentlessly reported coverage in the public interest that dramatically furthered the nation’s...

"After more than six months of study and deliberation, the Pulitzer Prize Board has decided it will not revoke the foreign reporting prize awarded in 1932 to Walter Duranty of The New York Times."

“For deeply sourced, relentlessly reported coverage in the public interest,” the citation from the Pulitzer Prize board begins, “that dramatically furthered the nation’s understanding of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and its connections to the Trump campaign, the president-elect’s transition team and his eventual administration.” Except the journalism that the Pulitzers honored — a 2018 National Reporting prize shared by the Washington Post and the New York Times for reporting on Russiagate — did no such thing. It led to a dramatic misunderstanding, suggesting that Donald Trump colluded with Vladimir Putin to help sway the 2016 election —...

Ron Watkins [CodeMonkeyZ] Everyone please send prayers for Joe Oltmann, Jovan Pulitzer, and a few others (who I won't name). They are very sick with what is suspected to be anthrax poisoning. 🙏🙏 t.me/CodeMonkeyZ/2304 91.0K views Dec 21 at 00:02

This is not the first time the prize was awarded for misleading and discredited coverage In 2018, journalists from The New York Times and The Washington Post won a Pulitzer Prize in national reporting for their biased and inaccurate coverage of Russia’s alleged collaboration with the Trump campaign to interfere with the 2016 election, a claim we now know was a hoax. So when are they going to return the prize? If this sounds familiar, it should. This is not the first time the prize – which is supposed to recognize outstanding achievement and public service in journalism – was...

On Tuesday, former President Trump threatened to sue the Pulitzer Prize Board over their awards to The New York Times and The Washington Post for their Russia collusion stories. The Pulitzer Prize Board has not responded publicly to former President Trump's threat to sue them if they don't immediately rescind the 2018 awards given to both The Washington Post and The New York Times for their Russia collusion stories, nor have they replied to multiple requests for comment. Trump released a letter on Tuesday through his Save America PAC from his attorney Alina Habba, saying: "It is hereby demanded that...

Former President Donald Trump urged the Pulitzer Prize Board to rescind the 2018 National Reporting awards given to The New York Times and The Washington Post for coverage of alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia during the 2020 campaign, saying their stories were based on “false reporting” and a “complete lack of evidence.” “As has been widely publicized, the coverage was no more than a politically motivated farce which attempted to spin a false narrative that my campaign supposedly colluded with Russia despite a complete lack of evidence underpinning this allegation,” Trump wrote in a letter addressed to...
