Clearly the Pulitzer has gone political. And the irony of an award created to recognize amazing journalism being used to recognize advocacy instead is telling.

People attempting to cross the border are not legally recognized as asylum seekers. The process for seeking asylum is different, and requires seeking asylum in the countries you pass through on your way to America.

I want to be clear here: I'm against a border wall entirely and I think people who want to come here to make a better life for themselves should be allowed to. My sentiments are about the principles of journalism and the very blurred lines that have drawn between journalism and advocacy.
