A Pulitzer for twisting history
8th May 2020
The New York Times’ 1619 Project has been hammered so effectively by scholars that to keep attacking it may seem like piling on. However, the Times has just been awarded a Pulitzer Prize for its drive-by attack on America. Thus, I think another wave of criticism is justified.
The Pulitzer, like the Nobel Prize, has degenerated into just another pat on the back that one set of Crustian proglodytes give to another of the same class.
