Congratulations!

 Congratulations to Anna Wolfe over at Mississippi Today.   She busted her ass for the last two years on the DHS scandal and was awarded a Pulitzer for her efforts.   Nice job.  Now go out and do it again. ;-).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Anonymous said...

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.

Anonymous said...

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.

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.

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.

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.

Anonymous said...

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.

Anonymous said...

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

Wow said...

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

Someone else can explain it to you.

Anonymous said...

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.

Anonymous said...

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!

Anonymous said...

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

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.

Anonymous said...

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.

@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.

Will someone explain this "Barksdale" business?

Thanks.

Anonymous said...

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.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag.
