Outstanding explanatory report
It was recently announced that Herschel Walker will formally participate in the upcoming Senate election in Georgia in his name. Chris Cillizza of CNN considered the news and came to a conclusion This is a bad decisionIn fact, as he declared, this is “a total nightmare for Senate Republicans.” Now, this is a seat that the Republican Party does not currently hold, so I am not sure how nightmare this will become, but he pointed out three problems as the problem.
- Walker is not technically Georgian ——While ignoring that he is a local hero, this was also refuted by Senator Hillary Clinton’s abbreviated residency rights.
- He has no political experience – Cillizza needs to be reminded that although AOC’s resume is more hollow than a feminist university in Kabul, it has become a political star.
- Walker had a past when he was accused of threatening his spouse– Although seemingly negative, Walker is competing with Rafael Warnock, despite contemporary records Actual Violence.
Outstanding local report

According to media reports, the Covid-19 virus is rampant in Florida. This virus is out of control, it has the characteristics of a serial killer. Not based on the number of corpses, but on the way it is now adapting to the slasher method seen in horror movies. This is the description we got from the local newspaper in Broward County. Just like Jason Voorhees, the virus is now tracking teenagers in our school.

Outstanding Comment
Is it too much to require reporters who cover politics to have a certain understanding of our political landscape that dates back at least a few years ago? At Vox, this is obviously not a job requirement. It is true that we are talking about the pathologically prejudiced Aaron Rupal, but even according to his lowered standards, this is the new lowest point of forgetting.
Aaron was taken aback by a letter written by Rep. Madison Cawthorn, calling on the government to invoke the 25th amendment and remove Joe Biden from his presidency. Of course, this was a gesture of pretentiousness for Cawthorn, but please note Rupar’s anger at this move.
Republicans are belittling impeachment, the resignation of the president, and now the 25th Amendment https://t.co/qVtw1rwOK0

Aaron, things have been belittled for a long time, considering that in 4 years, the Democrats have repeatedly cited Donald Trump on the 25th-including the actual bill drafted in his first year in office-and he The two impeachments were unsuccessful. Note that one of them is over the phone, not the botched mission that resulted in the death of soldiers and the Americans being abandoned in hostile countries.
Outstanding feature writing
- Grace Cook– New York Times
For most of a generation, we have been educated that cotton tote bags are the solution to planetary decline. Unlike toxic plastic bags, tote bags are safer, reusable, and made from renewable resources.
Do not! These things are the deadly planet-destroying curse, The Times told us!
The list of crimes against nature that was once considered to be the savior of the earth is long. Cotton crops use too much water, bags cannot be recycled, and bags made in China employ slave labor. According to a 2018 study, an organic cotton tote bag needs to be used 20,000 times to offset its overall impact on production. This is equivalent to 54 years of daily use-using only one bag.
Considering how despicable these backpacks are, it makes sense for newspapers to question the companies that distribute these items—you know, such as the New York Times.
this @New York Times Shows the hazard of cotton tote bags to the environment. These items consume resources and encourage slave labor.
In addition, you can buy any of a dozen branded handbags in the New York Times store.https://t.co/L8bAkTne5Hhttps://t.co/nuvptw5IzG

Outstanding Frozen Dessert Report
- Annie Tate– Washington magazine
In this newly created Joe Biden category, we have a new entry because we received a news alert About some White House history. Reagan and a former pastry chef of the Bush administration are about to auction some precious items in the presidential residence. A series of dessert molds will be auctioned at the end of this month, of which 300 have been used for official White House dinners for over 300 years.
These molds are designed for specific VIPs and events. Therefore, one can only assume that in the next few years, Joe Biden’s very worn ice cream mold will receive a higher premium.
“Madam. One day, Reagan said to me, “When the dessert is served, I want to hear the sound of’oooooo’. “” https://t.co/8vIdx1zQMJ
