#22One of last year's winner:
> Staffs of The New York Times and The Washington Post
> For deeply sourced, relentlessly reported coverage in the public interest 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.

I honestly don't follow pulitzer prizes, but sampling a few recent years (in the past 20), I can't find any where there was ANY award for investigation against a president (there was one for investigation against Dick Cheney in 2008). Has this ever happened before?

#24I'm a little surprised that Miami Herald isn't on the list for their Epstein reporting, maybe they're not eligible until next year.
I came across this open letter from Alan Dershowitz, lobbying against their Pulitzer consideration[1]. I haven't seen a public response from either the reporter or the Miami Herald, so I'm curious about their views of the points he brings up.
To be clear, I'm not saying he is accurate. I just don't know enough either way. He's obviously an interested party to the whole story.

The first example that comes to mind is the Pulitzer Prize-winning work by the Washington Post around Watergate. Granted, that was almost fifty years ago. See https://www.pulitzer.org/winners/washington-post

Do you think we should trust his narrative? I remember watching the disingenuous way he debated Chomsky on Israel/Palestine and thinking that he was totally sleazy
Re: 2019 Pulitzer Prize Winners
#29Are we going to rescind the Pulitzer Prizes for the "journalists" talking about the Russian "collusion"? Failure to do so drastically reduces the merit of receiving such a prize. Same thing with the Nobel "peace" prize given to Obama.
