So there's no right-leaning reporter anywhere in the world who was interested in investigating Obama? If there were things to be found, it would have been pure gold for them. You tell me why they didn't do it?

This is absolutely true. When your objective is to destroy somebody there is no expectation of fairness. And anybody who investigates Trump will be likely to get a prize.

I wonder what facts the reporter left out. We'll never know.

Where was that proven to be true? I'm not saying it isn't true, but where was it proven to be not true.

So you don't care if he lies about anything at all. Not surprising after all.

Mostly we care about our President being (A) not Hillary and (B) a Republican so that we can get the Supreme Court that America needs.

He's the guy the Republican Party went with.
Isn't that why you voted for Hillary?

Eh...it's kind of hard to care about it at this belated point. After Bill Clinton's and Barack Obama's respective eight-year long whopper-fests, it appears that lying must have become part of the presidential job description at some point.

Things were found out about Obama but you libs refused to believe any of it. You all laughed and accused those who dug up dirt on him as wearing tin foil hats.

The MSM gave Obama a free pass and handled him with kid gloves.

i'm glad he covered both stories, but if this is what qualifies for a pulitzer these days, then reporting has hit an all time low. Receiving a tip about an access hollywood story and reporting on it, and asking a charity if Trump had made good on his pledge seems like routine stuff in the world of reporting. I don't know, I'm not a reporter, so I have no idea if he went "above and beyond" in getting these stories, but this seems like routine journalism to me, even if the first story did lead to a tremendous amount of media attention.

So this reporter wasted his time investigating someone's private charitable contributions? Big scandal? What about war, crime, terrorism, etc? Too minor for his attention? I guess the Pulitzer prizes will follow the Nobel Peace Prize into the toilet. Proof--I understand Noonan won one also, for writing endless columns about nothing.

The MSM isn't the only news on earth. Even they can't overpower a true scandal. BS.
