The Post’s staff also received a Pulitzer finalist nod in national reporting for coverage that helped awaken the nation to the disaster of Hurricane Helene, revealing the scale of the destruction and human toll for the climate-fueled weather calamity.

I'm not so sure. It is quite possible that the Washington Post received no Pulitzers this year, as some are saying. Indeed, evidence may be forthcoming that such is the case, and the word of the Washington Post is far from disinterested here. Who is to say whether they received Pulitzers or not?

The Post’s @jerrybrewer.bsky.social was named a Pulitzer finalist in Commentary for for his set of four reported essays tracing how sports, once a unifying American connector, have instead become a platform for grievance, debate and division.

You guys are pure sleaze for trying to share in credit for the work of a person you forced out for actually doing the job she was supposed to be doing. I'm so glad I cancelled my subscription months ago. You'll never get it back.

My repost comment was a little more restrained, but we’re both headed to the same place: shame on WP for implying that the Pulitzer was for them, when they pushed out the person who really won it.

Bezos drove this talented Cartoonist out for telling the truth about him and his unholy alliance with Trump and Putin. Shame shame shame WaPo for taking credit for her work and accolades when the Publisher and Owner deserve nothing but our scorn for their spineless capitulation to Trump.

The Washington Post is pure Bezos/Trump/Putin propaganda. Our family subscribed for decades, now we wouldn’t use it to line our hamster cage. Bezos has no balls, no integrity and I’m sorry to say, if you are still at the Post you have sold your soul to the dark side.

It wasn't so long ago that I was so proud to freelance for you, in part because I got to share issues with people like Ann Telnaes. You have turned that pride into embarrassment in record time. Congratulations Ann. Rot in hell, WaPo.

The best time to delete this embarrassing attempt to share success with someone whose art you suppressed out of cowardice was before you posted it. Second best time is now.

Hmmm, with respect, it takes an extraordinary amount of “brass neck” to crow about @anntelnaes.bsky.social brilliant work after she was effectively forced to resign because of your boss’ attitude and actions. Yes, she definitely deserves the Pulitzer, but the credit is all hers, not yours.

Well, not really, but I get why you think that. I'm sure there are any number of staff cartoonists who have had submissions rejected for one reason or another, but kept working. Do I agree that she left because of the editorial environment? Absolutely. But saying she was fired undermines her agency.

How embarrassing for you. She left because you have forgotten what journalistic integrity is. You won't be remembered for the Pentagon Papers or any of these Pulitzers, but for your COWARDICE and GREED. How the mighty have fallen.

The shamelessness of y'all is incredible. There's nothing in the people who call themselves managers there. A hollow rag run by hollow individuals.
