It is the far-left Pulitzer Board’s worst nightmare. Yesterday, Fox ran the story under the headline, “Trump scores big legal win against Pulitzer Prize board members as lawsuit moves to discovery.” The sub-headline reported the worst possible news for Pulitzer: “Pulitzer Prize board communications will not be protected from discovery in the landmark case.”
This might even be worse than losing the lawsuit outright. Back in 2022, Trump sued the Pulitzer Board for defamation, because it shamed itself by granting Pulitzer Prizes in 2018 to the New York Times and to the Washington Post for, get this, their fake-news reporting on RussiaGate.
Last week, corporate media crowed with anticipatory delight over the Board’s excellent motion to prevent discovery, in which it argued that the internal emails and texts between board members would embarrass the Board and besmirch the vaunted reputation of the Pulitzer Prize itself. Scores of articles reported the Board’s motion.
Only Fox reported that after the hearing, the judge denied the Board’s dumb motion and ordered it to turn over the communications. Corporate media was silent yesterday.
As I’ve told you many times, discovery is a worst-case scenario for the Board. I’d bet a week’s salary the Board members are Trump-deranged lunatics, and their internal communications, instead of reflecting professional acumen, journalistic expertise, and wise restraint, probably more resemble a Discord channel of middle-school mean girls.
Embarrassing, indeed. It could destroy the award, not that anyone would care. The Board should settle. Immediately. Expect a generous offer soon.
You know, if you refuse to let people see your emails because it will destroy your credibility and ethical standing… you have no credibility and ethical standing. What is embarrassing is that they can’t turn over the emails without being embarrassed.
What is amazing is why they didn’t award Pulitzers for “fine people” and “suckers and losers”. After all, like Russian collusion, these were some of the left’s favorite and most used lies, being spread even to this day. Maybe they fought over who to award the prize to, so many liars promoted it.
