Fox News
Rep. Lance Gooden, R-Texas, sent a letter to the Pulitzer Prize Board, calling for the 2018 award to The New York Times and Washington Post to be rescinded.
"If Pulitzer still believes in maintaining the integrity of its establishment and high standards for its prizes and award recipients, it should promptly undo this mistake by stripping the New York Times and the Washington Post of the 2018 Pulitzer Prize," Gooden wrote.

"To restore faith in the authenticity of the prize and to clarify the Board’s strong belief in accountability and impartiality, I request the Board ban the Washington Post and the New York Times from any nominations for a minimum of five years. I trust you will do the right thing," he added.
