Washington Post's David Fahrentold Wins Pulitzer Prize
...for his exposing of Trump's fake philanthropy.

Keep turning over those rocks, young man. Ben Bradlee would be proud of you.

The "failing" NY Times got one too.

"International Reporting
The New York Times staff for coverage of Vladimir Putin’s efforts to project Russia’s power abroad." WP

Quite an admirable piece of investigative reporting. His technique even has been given a formal name, “the Fahrenthold method.”

That's quite an honor. One cannot but glean the irony that Fahrenthold used social media to investigate Trump's (lack of) philanthropy using social media, especially Twitter.

Wouldn't it be something if both WaPo and NYT published one page announcements thanking Trump for their awards?

Primary Fake News provider Breitbart has been denied press access for halls of Congress. So is the GOP Congress acknowledging the truth about the fake media? Maybe they have figured that fake news is no longer working.

Breitbart Has Been Denied Permanent Congressional Press Credentials
Quote:
The standing committee of the US Senate Daily Press Gallery has denied Breitbart News permanent credentials to Capitol Hill, a move that would have given the right-wing news outlet more legitimacy within the Washington media.
