Post-Dispatch drops George Will column
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch has decided that Pulitzer
Prize-winning conservative George Will’s columns have gone too far over the line, dropped his
column and apologized for his column on college campus sexual assaults.
Illinois native Will’s column is syndicated in
newspapers across the country by the Washington Post, which bills him as “the
most influential writer in America.”
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch notification:
“The change has been under consideration for
several months, but a column published June 5, in which Mr. Will suggested that
sexual assault victims on college campuses enjoy a privileged status, made the
decision easier. The column was offensive and inaccurate; we apologize for
publishing it.”
The irony is that the Pulitzer Prize was set up by Joe Pulitzer, Post-Dispatch owner.
