What, did you think for a second that the Pulitzer Prize wasn’t just a trophy ceremony for liberals?
This year’s awards were just announced — and all your favorite leftwing rags got a nod. In particular, the Pulitzer Prize in Public Service was given to The New York Daily News and Pro Publica, a leftwing journalism consortium for another anti-law enforcement investigative feature about alleged abuses by the New York Police Department.
The writer behind the piece, Sarah Ryley, now works for Michael Bloomberg’s anti-gun website, The Trace.
Last year, ProPublica won a Pulitzer for “explanatory reporting” into the “startling examination and exposé of law enforcement’s enduring failures to investigate reports of rape properly and to comprehend the traumatic effects on its victims.”
For its “National Reporting” category, the committee award David A. Fahrenthold of The Washington Post “For persistent reporting that created a model for transparent journalism in political campaign coverage while casting doubt on Donald Trump’s assertions of generosity toward charities.”
Fahrenthold is a notorious adversary of the president. A quick look at his Twitter account shows considerable hostility.
Experts on lying said they surprised at how un-strategic Trump was: he'd tell falsehoods even when there was a strong chance he'd be caught. https://t.co/HuqNWIUB1S

@missy_ryan @annafifield I'll cancel my urine-tasting party for this weekend. Too bad I already bought the cheese and crackers.
