Jackson Jambalaya

Will she be publicly sharing the award with Brad Pigott?

She couldn't have done it without that sitdown with Phil.

"You from here?"*

Sorry Phil.

She wasn't from here.

Any conservative politician who stupidly sits for an interview with the Barksdalers get every iota of pain coming their way. There's a reason why they like Dudley Do-Right Democrat Delbert Hosemann.

People still give the Pulitzer any credence after the award was given to the "journalists" reporting the Russia Russia Russia hoax? Who knew?

Good for her.
If she goes after some left leaning grifters too...she will really have my respect as an unbiased journo.

Anybody seen any actual proof of this?

"Gov. Phil Bryant used his office to steer the spending of millions of federal welfare dollars."

She shares text messages provided and spoon fed to her by a slanted, involved and guilty actor in the play. A *guilty, angry and vengeful* one to boot, and gets a Pulitzer for this "effort". HELL. Be truthful. I could have gotten a Pulitzer were I given what was spoon fed to her.
TRUTH.

Congratulations, Anna! Your reports are the reason I bookmarked 'Mississippi Today' and now I ama regular reader. This award is well deserved.

Anybody seen any actual proof of this?

"Gov. Phil Bryant used his office to steer the spending of millions of federal welfare dollars."


“There are none so blind as those who will not see. The most deluded people are those who choose to ignore what they already know.” Jonathan Swift

Now she can move on to Bennie Thompson

5:15, yeah! Because a non-Barksdaler journalist would never have let the cat out of the bag about what happened, aka, the truth. Kudos to her for doing the work and kudos to KF for acknowledging it. Professionalism.

Chris McDaniel needs to try a little harder on his “anonymous” posts.

5:31, I’ve seen strong evidence that the world is not flat, but I can’t say I’ve seen “proof” since all the pictures are flat. But I’ve seen enough evidence to believe it is flat and I’ve seen enough to believe Phil is a crook.

I remember a president, who, two weeks after assuming office got a similar award. Problem was, two weeks into the job all he had done was bring the Census Bureau under whitehouse control.

As Kingfish stumbles all over his feet congratulating this liberal child.

Interesting that a "Journalist" can win a Pulitzer for a work of fiction.

We already knew how this bunch of Haters would react when they should be proud for her and for Missippi .

Will Anna’s next target be Chokwe and his corruption???

Asking for a friend….

Crap stirrer

Why did you not publish my explosive post? Everything I said is true and can be proven. Even you, Kingfish, are behind the 8 ball on this, and Wolfe has done NOTHING except repeat the information she was spoon fed. Investigative journalism BULLSHIT. The man IS evil and time will tell. I cannot believe you would not publish my truth.

6:09 work of fiction my ass. He is an evil, callous man. Just wait. Bookmark this. He is capable of evil, horrific things.

Congrats to Ms Wolf ... but was Donner Kay in the mix for a Pulitzer ?

Now that she won a Pulitzer, maybe she can get a job with a real news organization.

I think she did a good job. It our stupid republicans who give her things to write about. I told someone the other day I am not worried about democrats as much as I am the republicans I voted for. McDaniel supporters broke into a nursing home to take pictures of a poor woman with dementia. Of course Phil was involved and then talked to a reporter about it because his ego allows him to think he can outsmart her. His recent text dump feels desperate.

lol….Mississippi Today is so desperate for readers, they pander to the users on reddit, where every kind of porn exists, for clicks.

I wonder what the Mississippi Today board of directors think about that?

Congrats Anna. Here’s hoping your PP isn’t based on lies like the NYT got for their Russia collusion hoax.

Phil and crew's beyotches in da house hoing dat row.

I find it hard to believe that responders say Gov. Phil Is uneducated. He graduated from Sunflower Jr. College. In Moorhead Ms.

The hate is strong in this thread.

Signed,

Actual Conservative Republican Who Hates Crooked Politicians

Same people who come on here condemning Farve and Dibiase to hell on EVERY post on this subject can't stand to see the person who broke the story getting credit.

Half of y’all can’t muster enough IQ to add up to average.

EVERYTHING not politically favorable to you is a hoax?

LMAO.

The problem with Anna is her vindictiveness.

If you tell her something that doesn't fit her narrative, she attacks you. You are presumed guilty based on her work, and ultimately canceled because her blog posts stay on the web forever. So good people just go about their business and do not push back on her or any of the other Barksdalers.

Deep down Adam and Donna are soooooo jealous of this award. I wonder if Anna has thanked Adam's mom for green lighting the volleyball court? Without her, maybe the volleyball court isn't built.

Oh, and has Marshall drawn a "look at me" cartoon to celebrate yet? He usually uses celebrity deaths to promote himself. This is a special occasion.

Yes, I dislike Mississippi Today.

The coordinated effort of the left is closing in on Phil (and Tater) and Phil knows it. His releasing of "all" his texts was a Hail Mary for mercy from the voters that are "from here" - Dirt dumb rednecks all.

@6:25 PM,

That is my question too!

The bar for the Pulitzer must be set incredibly low. Wonder if it has ever been recalled when matters of unethical inappropriate relationships with sources are revealed?

Phil knows what he did! I was at a Ted Dibase Jr's law of 16 bogus seminar in 2018. During the seminar Ted asked everyone to come up with a mission statement for the various state govt. agencies they worked for. A table with state troopers won the "Mission Statement" contest and each trooper was given $600 a piece. I think there were 8 troopers at that particular table. The seminar was held at the Hilton on County Line Rd and Phil had stopped by right before the seminar started as a surprise. I am sure that the in $600 dollars in TAF Funds that each trooper took home that day could have helped a needy family.

Whaaa. Whaaa. Whaaa.
I don’t like (value) differing opinions.
They’re *insert name here*
Who cares if they’ve awarded prizes for excellence in journalism for 106 years.
Ugh, it’s awarded from a group at Columbia University.
Whaaa. Whaaa. Whaaa.
Ignoramuses.

Those barksdalers think they’re so smart

Let's hope Anna never comes after Tater and Paul LaCoste.

Y’all are apparently upset that Anna was mean to someone that you like. But if you don’t want reporters
uncovering your beloved politicians’ corruption, maybe you just shouldn’t elect crooked politicians. Phil was a slime ball, and that was apparent from the beginning.

working link! https://www.theonion.com/brett-favre-makes-amends-by-sending-photo-of-his-penis-1849598075

Should Jacob Black be entitled to half the prize money?

Crap stirrer of Mississippi crap.

What is a “Barksdale”?

Does the post @ 12:27 represent the 'new low' for the blog or does the publication of the post @ 12:27 hold that title?

As a long-time participant and Board Member here, I vote to split the award money and trophy.

Bravo! Mississippi Today is doing great work comrade.

I have no issue with going after Phil and company. Great work no matter where your information comes from. We all, we'll those of us who don't have blinders on or are blissfully ignorant, know Chokwe has some corruption going on. I will consider her legit if she'll go after him. The out of state atty's, contracts, millions of dollars that should have stayed in state are now in Detroit, Atlanta, etc. This needs to be exposed. He's farming out Jackson's tax dollars to his cronies out of state and we are all paying for it. Start with the $30mil Siemens settlement where his atty buddies took home 1/3 of the payout. This isn't an ambulance chaser case. Maybe that's the circle he deals with. Anna, get on it. I know it's a sensitive topic being he is the most radical mayor in the SE, but you know it's there. Find the facts and publish it. Then we will say you're not biased to any one political party.

Congrats to Anna...well-deserved! I am puzzled by the comments here. I am politically conservative and I wholeheartedly applaud what she has done in uncovering the wholesale theft of taxpayer money intended for the poor. The fact that Anna's political positions (whatever they might be) may differ from mine does not detract from her accomplishment. Here are the facts folks. Mississippi has essentially become a kleptocracy where the well-connected and country club "elite" are routinely caught in Ponzi schemes or other crooked behavior, and the public routinely shrugs its shoulders, and we wonder why the State of Mississippi continues to lag behind. Are folks so blinded by politics that they are somehow defending this type of conduct and acting as if Anna did something wrong by turning over the rock and exposing the wriggling monstrosity that is Mississippi politics and cronyism?

All the peeps patting Wolfe on the back as some sort of uber journo act as if she ferreted out all this information completely on her own. She didn't. She's receiving an award for having an information leaking sugar daddy insider. She knows it, everybody knows it. She hasn't broken jack once the leak got fixed.

8:38. The young lady was given these texts by one of the disgruntled accused. She didn't "investigate" jack shit.

May 9th at 7:15am is not from around here it seems.

Someone else can explain it to you.

I don't see what 8:50 sees. I too am conservative and proud for Anna and her award.
I hope all guilty parties rot in prison personally.

I also don't see anything wrong with the many who expressed hope that she will be an actual unbiased journalist and prove it by uncovering corruption in the City of Jackson leadership or Democratic leaders.

I think most (sane) people are pleased when any politician is held accountable.
I also think most (sane) people are justifiably skeptical because Liberal/minority leaders are rarely investigated with the same warranted vigor.

I remember when wanting equal treatment for all was a good thing.
Its become politically incorrect to point out that liberal leaders are doing anything wrong.

You poor Saps can’t take a win! Mississippi should be celebrating her! They certainly are doing it across the country ! While doing it they mention how it’s ranked 50th in most cases and it’s sad history on civil rights. You only have yourselves to thank for that!

She’s super liberal/left, and doesn’t pretend to hide it. She unnecessarily introduces race in a very whiny bleeding heart manner into stories, particular Jackson’s issues, where it has no place. But on this one topic, she was dead ass, 100% right and deserves all the praise

Somebody else turned over the rock. Wolfe only reported on the bugs found underneath. Big difference.

KF is smitten. Were she fat, redheaded and ugly, he would not say a word.

No one has really questioned the source on the USM Volleyball stuff. Could it have actually been Adam Ganucheau's mom? She was in a position to know becuase of course she approved the transaction. She totally got a pass from everyone in the media on that.

SuperTalk apparently is not covering this Pulitzer for some reason...

Everyone know's that Phil was the whisteblower here and without his savvy and intellectual thinking, this thing might still be going on, and USM might have an 80,000 seat domed stadium by now.

When she goes after Lumumba, I'll be impressed.

What 8:50 said.

I read every comment carefully, thinking surely at least one reader would point out that someone else deserves a Pulitzer around here, and that would be Kingfish. What he has done over the last years by unrelenting investigation of the water scandals, including hours and hours of basic hardass journalism, is nothing short of phenomenal. I believe that Ms. Wolfe would agree.

I've been an Anna Wolfe fan since she was at the CL. I expected that she could win big prizes, but wow! I am a bit perplexed that the award would be given when her "Backchannel" series is still open-ended, but she has done a great job so far.

Now, I'm with the many of you who would like to see someone turn on the kitchen light at City Hall and see how many roaches they can catch and subject to close examination. Meanwhile, I'm counting on Councilman Stokes to keep using his magnifying glass.

I would be more excited for Anna W. if she and MS Today didn't claim they uncovered the whole fraud - which is straight up BS. Someone already pointed it out, but she was getting information from Jacob Black for years - why didn't she "uncover" the fraud then? Bottom line is auditors uncovered it, she reported on it.

Burke, Backchannel "series" basically ended when Anna Wolfe's leakster was sent packing.

12:43, SuperTalk only covers what they are told to cover.

And Tate is holding his cards close to his vest on this one. Sometimes the tea leaves take a while.

@7PM

Seems like SuperTalk could pick up on Phildo's massive left wing media distortion political conspiracy theory and just run with it without being very invested in it. Just typical chum for the masses of low information listeners.

Heck, even if they did run that and then Phildo got indicted that still doesn't disprove that the left wing media was out to git him!

Does this mean Phildo's influence isn't what it used to be?

It could also mean Tate's smart enough to count federal guilty pleas and sentences imposed and realize things are still cooking at the federal grand jury.

Sounds like 8:15 is triggered about sump'in.

Congrats Anna Wolfe. I enjoy your stories and I read and will continue to read about the DHS situation! Keep the heat on Phil!

Will someone explain this "Barksdale" business?

Thanks.

Jim Barksdale is an 80 year old businessman and native of Mississippi. He was educated at UM and later became very influential and wealthy in the early internet service provider business. He is perhaps the third wealthiest Mississippian currently. IMO, locals view him as a boogeyman a la George Soros. He has donated much money in the state for education initiatives.

Ahhh yes the laudable Pulitzer
