Critics have called for the revocation of a Pulitzer Prize given to the Washington Post for its "relentless" Russiagate reporting, after the newspaper made heavy corrections to two stories based on the discredited Steele dossier.And from one who was materially harmed by the Wapo's recklessness:
In a statement on Friday, the Washington Post announced that it had removed "large portions" of two articles covering the discredited Steele dossier - a political opposition report commissioned by Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign which claimed to have evidence of a conspiracy between President Donald Trump and Russia.
"Another major editor's note attached to a Washington Post Russiagate story. This one is essentially a retraction. There's no way for major media outlets can keep evading this accountability. It's crashing down," tweeted journalist Glenn Greenwald, who added that the "scope of the media's Russiagate fraud is only starting to be appreciated."
Journalist Michael Tracey noted that Tom Hamburger and Rosalind Helderman, the two authors behind an article which "has now been effectively retracted," received a Pulitzer Prize "for their Russiagate reporting from exactly the same time period."
"Kinda makes you wonder what else they got egregiously wrong, doesn't it?" he questioned, as other social media users called on the Pulitzer Prize to revoke Hamburger and Helderman's award and demanded that the journalists resign.
Some social media users questioned why the Washington Post would not completely retract its discredited coverage instead of making such heavy edits. Meanwhile, others argued the damage was already done and that deleting falsehoods several years after they published merely amounted to "hiding the evidence."

Really, who efing cares about awards, really, do you want a star by your name for pointing that out or would you prefer and red, blue, white or purple ribbon. Awards are for children. And in case you haven't figured it out yet, awards are fixed.
