Duranty Prize for 2013

For John, BLUF:  Not all journalism is good journalism.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Why is this night different from all other nights?

That, of course, is a question asked every year at Passover.  In this case it is Writer Roger L. Simon explaining the Duranty Prize (for mendacious journalism), and its new partner, the The Rather (for lifetime achievement in mendacious journalism).

On other nights we celebrate journalistic excellence… as in the Pulitzer Prize… but on this night we celebrate a man who lied about Stalin and won the Pulitzer.

The awardees are named at the link, so I won't repeat them here.

Of, and none of the awardees showed to collect their prize.

Hat tip to the Instapundit.
