The recent Spoof story published March 24, 2010, BFD: Biden Denies He Was Referring To Codpiece, has brought long over due recognition to Dr. Viscount Billingsgate. With today's announcement by Columbia University's Bullshitzer Prize review board, Dr. Billingsgate was formally notified that the Biden codpiece story was under consideration for this most prestigious journalism award.
For those unaware of the history behind the award, Austrian born Julius "My Boy" Bullshitzer, stood out as the very embodiment of today's trendy journalism that holds nothing sacred while flying blind to the truth. As titular head of the Columbia School of Journalism for twenty-six years, he reshaped crooked, partisan journalism in America by teaching his students to embrace distortions of fact to enhance the image of the Democratic Party.
Dr. Billingsgate is honored to be considered in this competition that has been dominated by the New York Times and The Washington Post for the past 50 years.
