They Hate Trump SO Much, They Gave the Pulitzer to the Bullet

This is such a tired, obvious old story repeating itself endlessly that we don’t cover much of it anymore.

Lying, gaslighting, half the story – it’s what the press does routinely. Protecting, defending, and promoting, not the truth but the progressive narrative is so much a part of their function, so baked into their very DNA anymore, that anything other than a ‘look what these pathetic asshats did now/all they have is Hitler’ mention is usually the gist of what we have.

Until there’s something done so exceptionally egregious, so blatantly and purposefully biased as disregarding the iconic image of not just a seismic political event but a historic one that galvanized the nation. That the once sought after, highest ideals of a ‘unbiased free press’ and simple principles of fairness could not triumph for a solitary moment over their collective disgust, disdain, and scorn for the individual pictured, nor stomach the thought of lauding the virtues inherent in the single photograph every American identifies as THAT moment in time.

THAT moment in Butler, Pennsylvania.

The Pulitzer Prize committee couldn’t, dare I say it, pull the trigger to award the prize for the Photo of the Year to the photographer whose picture captured defiance in the face of a miraculous escape from death by an assassin’s bullet.

Oh, no.

The Pulitzer committee has awarded the prize to the bullet. 

This incredible photo won the Pulitzer Prize (minus the red circle, of course)

The Pulitzer is still diminished to a paperweight, but that paperweight will have this image on it. pic.twitter.com/GNzrADXMUV

The committee is no doubt regretful that the second photo even exists.

‘But for a stupid chart,’ I have no doubt they sighed in their black hearts of hearts as they wistfully patted their winner.

Then they handed out more awards to more good friends who also wished ill on the bullet’s target, and did their best to diminish an assassination attempt through the orifice available at their own Heart of Darkness.

Mainstream journalism is now essentially dead.

The WaPo couldn’t kill Trump’s presidential aspirations or first term, no matter how they tried the first time.

And they have refused to give the Pulitzer back

So the uber-ethical democracy defending ‘journalists’ at the WaPo swung into action to disseminate as much dismissive misinformation as humanly possible, literally seconds after Trump’s riveting, visceral response to someone literally trying to kill him.

FLIGHT FLIGHT FLIGHT

Much like the bullet that damn near did Trump in, their journalism peers awarded them yet again for their flight into unsuccessful assassination – only of the truth.

It looks the Pulitzer Prize juries are “PERFECT” in a way — once again, no one wins an award for investigating or reporting anything about Biden, Harris, or the Biden administration.

This is just one more rotting fish in their basket.

The Pulitzer Board is bearing grudges, no doubt – they’re still on the Russia, Russia, Russia hook, as much as they’d love for it to simply go away.

Florida judge denies Pulitzer Board’s bid to stay defamation lawsuit from Trump

…The decision from the 19th Judicial Circuit Court’s Judge Robert L. Pegg late Monday presents a blow to the board, which in January pointed out that the president has sought to stay civil lawsuits in which he is a defendant. But it’s a major victory for Trump, who is actively waging a war on news media publishers whose reporting he dislikes.

Trump brought the lawsuit against the board in 2022 after it defended its decision to award the 2018 National Reporting prize to The Washington Post and The New York Times for the pair’s coverage of Russian interference in the 2016 election and its alleged connections to the Trump campaign.

Not only could they not make Trump heroic all over again by awarding photographic evidence of his strength their ultimate accolade, but they couldn’t afford to ignore the pivotal historical moment of the year, either.

  All this guy does is FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT.

I know the winner is enormously deserving, but I still find it hard to believe that this photo did *not* win the Pulitzer Prize in breaking news photography. pic.twitter.com/HvBp0uFqrm

Damn bullet.
