Stinky journalism. The PU-litzer Prizes recognize crappiness in reporting from allegedly professional newspeople. This year's edition is very nice indeed.
"HISTORY IS FOR WIMPS" PRIZE — Newsweek
When Newsweek published a Dec. 3 cover story on George W. and Laura Bush, it was a paean to "the First Team" more akin to worship than journalism. Along the way, the magazine explained that the president doesn't read many books: "He's busy making history, but doesn't look back at his own, or the world's…. Bush would rather look forward than backward. It's the way he's built, and the result is a president who operates without evident remorse or second-guessing."
