problematic authoritarian tendencies throughout the society. now, that warning was followed by the announcement of that year s pulitzer prize for national reporting which went to the new york times or and the washington post, for quote relentlessly reported coverage in the public interest on russian interference in the 2016 election,ru and its connectionso the trump campaign, the president-elect transition team, and his eventual administration. now that choice naturally drew the ire of then president donald trump, who did not stop complaining about the decision, even after he left the white house. it actually led the pulitzer board to open two separate independent investigations into the awarding of those prizes. and this week, the pulitzer board has announced the results of those investigations, and here is part of what they said. no passages or headlines, contentions or assertions in any of the winning submissions were discredited by facts that subsequent to the con fe
