Very well deserved, if you ask me.

Washington Post reporter David Fahrenthold remembers being struck by Donald Trump’s pledge to donate $6 million, including $1 million of his personal funds, to veteran groups during a televised fundraiser before the Iowa caucuses early last year. Did Trump follow through, he wondered? So, weeks after the event, Fahrenthold started asking questions.

For several months, he found, the answer was no, despite assurances to the contrary from Trump’s campaign. When Trump finally made the donation in late May the reporter set off on a broader inquiry. In a detailed series of articles, he found that many of Trump’s philanthropic claims over the years had been exaggerated, and often weren’t truly charitable activities at all.

On Monday, Fahrenthold’s investigative digging was rewarded with the Pulitzer Prize, journalism’s most prestigious award. His work documenting the future president’s charitable practices won the award for national reporting.

Fahrenthold’s Pulitzer-winning package of stories also included his article disclosing that Trump had made crude comments and bragged about groping women during an unaired portion of an interview on “Access Hollywood” in 2005.

2. K & R Good for him!!! VERY well-deserved!

[Tanuki]

3. K&R--well deserved! Hopefully the publicity surrounding this award

will put the story of Trump's fraudulent foundation and other questions about his taxes and shady financial dealings front and center again. April 15 is just around the corner....show your taxes, SCROTUS.

5. Now let's see if any wanna-be MSMedia will ask

about it in Spicer's next presser. I have my doubts.

8. Pulitzer Prize winner chases down another yuuuge republican lie

republican role model Comrade Casino has told lie after lie to the American people. And the republicans have kissed his ass for doing it, protected him, and encouraged him to do more lying. Grrr. Like all decent human beings, I despise liars.

Tip O' the Topper to Fahrenthold for holding the republican Tax-&-Draft Dodger-in-Chief to account for one of his bigly lies.

9. Sad! Fake news! Emails! Obama! Biggest electoral win ever!

Don't let it go to your head, Fahrenthold. We need you to keep digging!

17. How awesome especially considering Trump Jr's tweet about Cernovich's reporting deserving a Pulitzer

Next year I guarantee you someone will win one for breaking the Russia ties that will end up taking down his admin.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

Dump's tweetstorm...incoming.

[rurallib]

25. !!!

well deserved

[calimary]

26. As well he should! That was a LOT of legwork. Tedious as can be. Not glamorous and not on TV.

But that's what the journalistic art is.

I'm SO STOKED for him! VERY well deserved!

[onecaliberal]

27. K&R. Nice!!!

[MyOwnPeace]

28. But,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

What good did it do?
Look, I'm NOT being negative about the award or the work, but, in the big picture - we've had SO many things that have shown that this A$$wipe #45 should be in jail, not the White House - and yet HE IS THERE!
We need more than a few good reporters doing a fantastic job of good ole' leg work - the "LAME-STREAM MEDIA" (yeah, don't we miss Miss Moose America?) must step up and report facts and NOT "alternative facts" - no "equal time" for BS - "just the facts, Ma'am".
How can so much be so wrong and nothing is being done about it? Is that what we've become?

[not fooled]

35. We can only hope

that the journalists such as Farenthold keep 'em coming until the dumpster admin is deposed.
