You should win a Pulitzer for this series. I didn't mind waiting whatsoever. And it was a nice surprise to learn the final two articles are coming out today. Merry Christmas!

I completely agree; the wait has not a big deal and I greatly appreciate Matt's reporting on the matter. It is super interesting to see a detailed case study of the new physics of the American culture.

I am 100% onboard here. I literally said this very thing to my wife just yesterday. Soberingly enough I also had to add that I didnтАЩt see it happening because of the way the media milieu is.

Also, IтАЩve been quite pleased with the pace of the releasing of articles. Maybe itтАЩs just me, but I thought the rhythm was just right.

No, they award the Pulitzer these days for entirely fabricated stories implying that the President of the United States is on Putin's payroll. Someone should fund an alternative award for truly independent, reliable, and brave journalism. We could call it "the Taibbi."
