Important! Stop the bigotry!

Post by leo-rcc » Wed Jun 22, 2011 4:44 pm

Americans for Fairness in Awarding Journalism Prizes, or AFAJP, is a nonprofit watchdog group committed to exposing those who engage in improper journalism award giving. Established in 1944, AFAJP has since grown to 742 chapters nationwide, and now boasts a membership of over 15 million Americans.

On June 20, The Onion, America’s Finest News Source, celebrates its 1000th issue, and AFAJP intends to mobilize its entire apparatus to ensure that the Pulitzer Board stop its blatant discrimination against The Onion and honor its landmark achievement with the prize it so richly deserves.









Got to the website, and sign the petition NOW!

It’s organic. Make stuff for the internet that matters to you, even if it seems stupid. Do it because it’s good and feels important. Put up more cat pictures. Make more songs. Show your doodles. Give things away and take things that are free." - Maureen J

Sweet. If anybody deserves a Pulitzer, it's The Onion. :clap:

Absolutely. Independent studies have shown The Onion to contain on average 223% more news than Fox.
