George Polk
Every year, Long Island University hands out awards to reporters and news organizations they deem to have achieved excellence in print or broadcast journalism.
Cision PR Newswire:
"The Polk Awards recognize the changing landscape of news," said John Darnton, curator of the awards. "The story of a person who in all likelihood is wrongly convicted is tried and true. But the podcast, as a delivery vehicle spread over multiple episodes that makes listeners feel it is unfolding in real time right before their ears, is a new and exciting reincarnation."
Darnton noted that the judges had reviewed 554 submissions, a record number since the Polk Awards began. "Few years have been as fruitful as this one," he added. "These winners tell us that the best of our journalists remain resilient, courageous, dedicated and undeterred by attacks on their ability and integrity."
It's awards season again, and for the 23rd year in a row - since its inception - DumFux News came up short. Again.

On Balance
Andy Borowitz, The New Yorker:
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) - Hinting darkly that "there's something going on," Donald J. Trump complained on Friday that he has been treated "very unfairly" by the people who wrote the United States Constitution.
"If the Constitution prevented me from doing one or two things, I'd chalk that up to bad luck," he said. "But when literally everything I want to do is magically a violation of the Constitution, that's very unfair and bad treatment."
Lashing out at the document's authors, Trump said that "America is a great country, but we have maybe the worst constitution writers in the world."
"Russia has much better constitution writers than we do," he said. "I talked to Putin, and he said their constitution never gives him problems."
"The situation is very unfair!" he added.
In an ominous warning, Trump said that, as of Friday, he was putting the writers of the U.S. Constitution "on notice."
"I don't have their names yet, but that's something I'm looking into," he said. "These jokers are not going to get away with this."

WaPo's RetroPod:
The Daddy State is never far from power. And the stealthy resurgence of the TheoCons in the background of both state and federal politics is becoming more of a problem.
Once we're rid of Cult45, we'll still have a struggle on our hands because theocracy and fascism go together like pie and coffee.

The En-Dumb-ening Continues
Last Week Tonight returns (finally), and we get a glimpse of Idiots on TV in the second block.
Welcome back, John Oliver.
(there's a glitch at about 9:00 where they cut the clip of the "reality show" - I'm thinking because of copyright trouble)

And an answer from another deeply unpopular president who understood something important about not trying to force himself on us.
It is part of the price of leadership of this great and free nation to be the target of clever satirists. You have given the gift of laughter to our people. May we never grow so somber or self-important that we fail to appreciate the humor in our lives.” --LBJ
(in a letter to the Smothers Brothers show upon their cancellation by CBS partly because POTUS had called the network and complained)
Nothing funny about tired Saturday Night Live on Fake News NBC! Question is, how do the Networks get away with these total Republican hit jobs without retribution? Likewise for many other shows? Very unfair and should be looked into. This is the real Collusion!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 17, 2019
