  • The Noble Prize

    From Björn Felten@2:203/2 to All on Thu Apr 30 05:36:50 2020
    Well, sorry Joe Orange, there is no Noble Prize for journalists. There is -- in the USA -- though a Pulitzer Prize, if that's what you're confused about.

    And no, that's not the Prize that Obama (your favourite hate person) was awarded and you not -- not never ever if you ask me.

    The Nobel Prize (not the Noble Prize) is not one but six prizes. One of them is the Nobel (not Noble, sorry Joe, his name was Alfred Nobel) Peace Prize.

    The above stupidity related tweets seems to have been deleted from Twitter. Not even the US Republicans seem to back up their Leader on the Noble Prize For Journalists stupidity.

    I take special interest in such a stupidity since I am Swedish -- you know: the Land of the Nobel Prize. As opposed to the land of the Trump and the Noble Prize for Journalists of Fake News...

    True. When Alfred instigated his six prizes Sweden and Norway were one union.

    We'll know how well Fidonet is being scraped on the web if we see tweets accusing the Nobel Academy of pandering to Fake News about Jina.
