(Temporarily posted commentary, including reposted news story links:)

(4/16/18 tiny-blog..) Congratulations to The "Failing" New York Times and The "Amazon" Washington Post:

2018 Pulitzer Prizes for national reporting (on Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election contest, shared by both news sources), and for investigative reporting (revealing allegations of past sexual misconduct against Senate candidate Roy Moore of Alabama, won by the Post).
