Pulitzer? I Don’t Even Know ’Er!Posted on Apr 20, 2009
This was a good year for journalists to catch a politician in flagrante delicto, or anything approaching such a compromised position, judging by a couple of this year’s picks for the prestigious Pulitzer Prize. Forbes notes that coverage of the financial crisis was relatively absent from the lineup of Pulitzer winners, an interesting and disturbing development. On a much happier note, The Washington Post’s Eugene Robinson, whose column runs on Truthdig, too, was a very deserving awardee for his coverage of Campaign ’08.

The corporate-owned press went after Elliot Spitzer, the best friend the American tax-payers ever had because he was on to the treachery of the Wall Street criminals. The press and US government could track Spitzer’s financial transactions while claming to investigate a prostitution ring, but not Bernard Madoff’s massive fraud or the complete failure of the SEC.
Report thisGreat American reporting….
I’d vote for Spitzer again if I could.
