Reminder that Andrew Pulitzer, the "patron saint" of journalism, was a humongous piece of shit who created the first tabloids and openly used them to destroy anyone he didn't like. The prize named after him is the most prestigious award for journalists worldwide.
Thank you. Andrew and his friend William Hearst are the root of this plague of yellow journalism that has infested our society. I find it fitting that the most prestigious prize in urinalism is named after a man who never told a single truth in his entire life.
Surely such upstanding gentlemen were not that bad. I mean, it's not like they would just publish outright falsehoods, including trying to did things like foment a war just to sell more papers. And they certainly wouldn't invent false claims about an accident on a battleship being a military attack when their initial propaganda campaigns failed to produce the war they wanted! Only despicably evil men would even consider doing such things.
