So now we have the buddie journalists pointing fingers at us. Do they think we're all ignorant? Do they think we don't know what they're doing? Also do they think none of us do the same job as they do?

Of course you "do your job", and OF COURSE you're respectful. Do you want a Pulizer for not being an asshole with an actor you're interviewing because he's not playing the right character you've been fetishizing for years?

We like journalists. We don't like glorified bloggers who only write for their little group of shippers who terrorized the entire fandom for months and act like they're the victims as soon as they take some heat. You're an online writer. You write for people. This is not a "It's my blog, I do what I want" situation. You make money out of people's clicks and reading time. People will read and like or hate what you write. That's part of the job.

We have no problem with many other journalists and reviewers even if they're not bucktommy shippers. Maybe take a look at who we're criticizing. You'll find some answers.

The fact that in Showvers a 2 times pulizer winner either Talked to a real vampier and survived or out of the blue wrote a verys gay vamp story has me rolling no wonder its a bestseller

I somtimes wonder what his daughters or human peers think right now 😅

:)))) IF the daughters actually exist…

But yeah. A lot must be shaking their heads. But I bet Daniel either takes them apart or doesn’t mind. He knows he’s right after all^^

Fashion writer Lila has always wanted to get into investigative journalism - and now a potential Pulizer-winning story has fallen - quite literally - into her lap.

Diego hadn't meant to pass out, but he's been on the run for 24 hours and is rapidly reaching the end of his rope. Can he trust this woman who claims to be a serious journalist - and why is she dressed like that?

Right! Left! March!

The initial idea of a photograph comes from research department staff who carefully identify the flowers blooming in any part of the world that is covered by our nobel and pulizer prize winning (but only grammy nominated, no wins so far) staff photographers. After careful research, which can take up to a month, they identify the best time (hour of day, day of week, and month) to photograph each flower currently blooming in the area. Planning and budget will identify an available photographer, arrange transportation to the area and lodging. Photographers will befriend the flowers and bring them back to the hotel room for an extended shooting session with controlled (gas) lighting. The PBDJ planning and budget will send staff lighting and makeup artists, or hire locally if no staff are available in the area. After the shoot, we return the flowers to the fields where they originated, to live out their lives in relative luxury.

DC's Mutants or How Perry White Won his 3rd Pulitzer

From Superman #265 (1973) by Elliot S! Maggin & Curt Swan

A normal day in Metropolis, and as we can see in the panel above that is Perry White deciding to stalk two unassuming citizens. Their crime? Wearing gloves. But first! Did you know Perry White won a Pulitzer prize? Well, actually he won three, two of them related to Superboy (the first one due to this interview young Clark gave him revealing he was an alien and the second one when Superboy revealed to Perry he was living in Metropolis... yeah, it's that easy). I'm only mentioning it because this is a story about how Perry White won his third Pulizer, and it all begins with the intrepid journalist pursuing a glove wearing couple.

During this time Morgan Edge owned the Daily Planet - I believe that happened in issue #233 of Superman - and he was not happy with Perry and his old ways, a traditional reporter, 20 years away from his last Pulitzer. In a way Perry shares Edge's frustration, he feels behind and powerless in this new position as Morgan undermines his editor role. I feel for Perry and that's why I'm ok with him following and questioning random people in the streets.

Suddenly the guy Perry approaches shoots him with an energy bolt from his fingers. Proving Perry's suspicions were right all along, the man still got it. This is just like his times covering the Korean War all over again.

Clark sees the energy bolt and realizes that is a job for Superman, while Perry feels like it is a job for a middle-aged journalist. They follow the couple to a heliport and there Clark, already as Superman, gets knocked out by their energy bolts, Perry then hides himself in the helicopter, tagging along with the gloved people.

When he wakes up Clark heads back to the Daily Planet and there he has to deal with the real menace to society: Steve Lombard's sex drive. He deals with it in a very silver age-y way and I approve of his methods. Glurgg indeed, Steve.

Meanwhile Perry gets off the helicopter, knocks out a guy, take his clothes, hides the body, applies some makeshift make up to his face and infiltrates the Air Force base he sees himself in. The feel of it is like watching a spy thriller, Perry getting cooler and cooler by the minute, he's proving something to Morgan Edge, proving something to himself. My favorite parts of the issue are the spy Perry White.

Enter Calixto, a government employee and mad scientist, who 20 years before planted a mutagenic substance in a atomic bomb testing (yeah, while Perry was winning a Pulitzer Calixto was violating human rights, the choices you make in life).

Calixto must have been a pretty smart guy because his mutagenic substance not only made the kids to be born mutants with specific energy powers and two opposite thumbs, but they were also weak to hypnosis. The amount of testing it must have take to achieve these results. I also like Maggin's logic here, if the evolution of the human opposite thumb made so many technical advances for our species possible, imagine having two thumbs, the possibilities could be endless.

Calixto's origins are weird, but his goals and methods of conquering are mad scientist villain 101, gather an army of mutants, mentally control them, take over an army base and plan a announcement to blackmail the world into submission. And he would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for Superman and meddling journalist Perry White.

Superman finds their base and does an anime girl spin trick he learned from Flash to fight their energy blasts. While at it he thinks "No force in the universe is completely irresistible!", and it is a hard hitting thought, especially coming from Clark whose powers are already seen as unstoppable. Coming from him this sentence goes to show how he doesn't believe completely in his own invulnerability, since no force in the universe is irresistible, himself included. Even the biggest challenges are not impossible to overcome... Am I reading too much into this? Probably, but it's cool anyways.

Proving this point... Superman goes straight to a wall of energy and passes out (for the second time in this issue, spending too much time with Hal Jordan maybe?).

To what undercover Perry reacts to with a surprisingly nonchalant "Hmmm..." that made me chuckle a little, Perry is adorable. His mind is cooking however, never doubt.

It's Superman's pal Perry White acting all spy-like again, this time he releases Superman from Calixto's jail, gives him the clothes of a guy he knocked out and suggests Clark to wear a pair of glasses as well.

So we have Clark as Superman disguised as a third person wearing glasses, it's a Russian doll scheme of secret identities. Perry almost figures out Superman wearing glasses looks uncannily like his colleague Clark, and he would probably win five Pulitzers at once for discovering that.

"Go sit on a pomegranate Calixto!" I don't think Calixto ever recovered from that comeback.

In a nearby desert Superman builds a giant tuning fork that disrupts Calixto's power over his mutants, their trance is over and they leave, now Calixto is alone and hysterical, absorbing a ton of energy to fight Supes. Then, in a very Superman fashion, when realizing Calixto's energy intake was exceeding his body limitations, Clark got in his way trying to save the man, to no avail though. The energy ray was too potent and the whole building blew up, leaving only Clark alive, crawling from a giant crater. Dramatic!

I think is cool how the mutants decided they would simply leave Earth after Calixto's death, they must've been up to date to their X-men reading, because I can't see things going well for people with two opposite thumbs here on Earth really.

Perry's reports his investigative work, his exclusive on Calixto's rise and downfall. I know Superman is close to the Planet crew and he helped to solve the whole Calixto crisis, but how many times is he called to comment on national developments like this? I'd gladly listen to his inputs so I'm not complaining, but I do wonder.

"But these mutants are the lucky ones... they at least had the choice to make!" do I feel a tinge of bitterness here Kal-el? Are you unhappy with our services? I mean, I know we're not the best but we're no Apokolips or I don't know... Warworld - I know we're bad, but are we worse then Warworld? Tell me Clark.

Overall, Curt Swan's art really fits the story, it's not over the top, the action is clean and the character's expressions elegant. Maggin's writing is charming, infusing the characters with a sense of purpose, especially Clark and obviously Perry. Calixto is more on the generic side, his mutants were interesting though, not exactly bad people, just manipulated, why did they chose to leave Earth? How are they now? In which planet are they? I have questions. Perry White is the main attraction of the issue for sure, he feels even more heroic than Superman, which is nice to see if you already like Super family characters and thinks investigative journalism is so cool (I do). I heard there's an Action Comics also written by Maggin in which Perry gains super powers... That's probably what I'm reading next. Thank you for reading this!

Ho appena sentito la notizia al TG3...

Un famoso fotografo, premio pulizer per la fotografia è riuscito ad immortalare il proiettile diretto Trump...

Come ? Chi è stato colpito ?

Non lo so, da come è partita la notizia tutti i fatti erano concentrati sul fotografo che nonostante i colpi di arma da fuoco si è avvicinato al palco ed è riuscito a fare le foto.

Come ? C'è stato un morto ?

Credo di si ma dalla notizia la cosa piu importante è che Trump sta bene e il fotografo è riuscito a fare un grande scoop
