Not a single prize-winning story had a substantive correction.

So funny that The New York Times & The Washington Post got a Pulitzer Prize for their coverage (100% NEGATIVE and FAKE!) of Collusion with Russia - And there was No Collusion! So, they were either duped or corrupt? In any event, their prizes should be taken away by the Committee!

Hes right... unless they give Pulitzers for fiction. #fakenews
Hes right
unless they give Pulitzers for fiction, wrote Trump Jr., who in recent days has teased the idea of a future run for office and has caught heat for giving an interview to a far-right conspiracy theory-peddling website which has previously called former President Barack Obama a demon from hell.
Of course, there is a Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. And Twitter users ― including Vietnamese American author Viet Thanh Nguyen, who won the prize in 2016 for The Sympathizer ― were quick to point it out:

(67,782 posts)Guess what Sherlock, they DO give a Pulitzer Prize for fiction, but that wasn't the case here, just good investigative reporting.
You know what else, Sherlock? Schiff and Nadler are going to get the report before you or daddy get it. Uh oh!!
Enjoy your weekend.
