The Pulitzers reward traitors and treason | New York Post

It’s official: Treason is cool and traitors are acceptable sources for journalists. The Pulitzer Prize says so.
In giving the 2014 Public Service award to The Washington Post and The Guardian for publishing stories based on Edward Snowden’s stolen documents, the Pulitzer judges gave their stamp of approval to news organizations that cooperate with criminals and compromise national security. No doubt the lesson will trickle down to scoop-hungry young journalists that they should cultivate people willing to betray America.
And why not?  …

A tall tale by Hillary

Hillary Clinton used her four years as secretary of state to fly around the world as a celebrity and avoid trouble spots so she could spin a book of triumph and run for president. With 2016 fast approaching, it’s time for the book, and — surprise! — it will be a long piece of campaign literature.
In the real world, Clinton accomplished nothing and was a steward of failed policies from Asia to the Mideast to Europe. In the make-believe world of her presidential ambition, she was a global crusader for all that is good and true.
Publisher Simon & Schuster calls the book “Hard Choices” and promises an “inside account of the crises, choices and challenges she faced.” It quotes her as saying such weighty things as, “All of us face hard choices in our lives,” and, “Life is about making these choices, and how we handle them shapes the people we become.”
Oy.
If Clinton offers only clichés and warmed-over Gwyneth Paltrow goop, readers will have an easy choice: Find another book.
