The Washington Post and the New York Times received a Pulitzers Prize in 2018 for their shared coverage of “Russiagate” – the conspiracy theory that President Donald Trump conspired with Russia to steal the 2016 election from Hillary Clinton.

It has now been proven over and over that no such conspiracy existed.

Will the New York Times and Washington Post return their shady Pulitzer Prize? Probably not.

The prize was awarded for their “relentless” reporting of this false story. They actually were relentless in damaging Donald Trump more than tracking down a true story.

Much of the coverage was based on a dossier funded by the Clinton campaign by Christopher Steele. It has been exposed as a collection of rumors, innuendos and outright lies. Later, the Times reported that George Papadopoulos, not the dossier, was the source that fueled the investigation.

An exhaustive investigation by Counsel Robert Mueller in 2019 concluded that Trump was not colluding with Russia. Not at all.

The  Pulitzer Prize is a joke. The majority of U.S. newspapers, headed by the Washington Post and the New York Times, base their coverage on their political worldview – not on the facts.

If they had any decency, they would return the “prize” and the Pulitzer Prize board would apologize to President Trump and the American people.
