In a stunning exposé that could make a half-hearted soap opera plot look like high drama, newly released FBI documents have trampled on the sanctity of a Washington Post story that shamelessly garnered a Pulitzer Prize. The revelation confirms that the FBI was well aware of the inaccuracies in a piece claiming President Trump pressured intelligence officials to undermine the agency’s investigation into supposed Russian collusion. One must wonder how much gold-plated irony it takes to frame such a prestigious award.
Back in June 2017, former NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers was taken aback by the media circus’ eagerness to fabricate the story. He informed FBI agents and members of Robert Mueller’s team that the Washington Post’s reporting from May 2017 was about as solid as a house of cards. It remains a mystery whether the Post was blissfully ignorant or willfully negligent about Rogers’s doubt before hitting the “publish” button. Regardless, the article was awarded for journalism excellence a whole year later, proving that sometimes, truth gets left behind when there are headlines to chase.

Fast forward to the present day, and President Trump is fiercely engaged in a legal slog against the Pulitzer Board, alleging defamation. A Florida circuit judge recently delivered a decisive blow to the Board’s attempts to dodge the lawsuit, demonstrating that they might have to face the music for standing by this discredited story. The ironies here are not lost—especially since the very basis of their prize-winning piece has been categorically disavowed by a key participant involved in the scandal.
The details from the Rogers interview reveal that the FBI notes clearly contradicted the Post’s narrative. When presented with the claim that Trump had pressed Rogers to deny evidence of collusion, it became apparent that the media’s portrayal was wrong. Rogers clarified that the discussion was more focused on inquiring about the existence of signals intelligence evidence—an essential detail that never made it to the Post’s pages. The FBI documents were unearthed as part of the Crossfire Hurricane declassification gambit orchestrated by none other than the former president himself. Talk about watching a carefully erected house of cards tumble!
This mounting evidence doesn’t just add another notch to the belt of conspiracies debunked; it exposes the systemic failure of elite media organizations to maintain journalistic integrity. One might even argue that the silence from the Washington Post and the Pulitzer Prize Board carries not just the weight of embarrassment but an air of disgrace. The reluctance of these institutions to engage with facts that counter their celebrated narratives paints a vivid picture of a press desperately clinging to a narrative quickly disintegrating under the weight of its own fabrications.
While the mainstream media continues to clutch its pearls and pretend everything is just fine in its world of journalism, the truth isn’t afraid to take center stage. As more documents come to light, the façade of credibility within major media outlets begins to crumble. The consequences are dire—not just for those involved, but for public trust in institutions that have claimed the moral high ground for far too long. The ugly truth is dawning: some of the so-called magnum opuses in journalism were merely a mirage built on a swamp of deceit. It’s high time the public holds these players accountable for cooking up narratives that could make even the best Hollywood screenwriters blush.
