It’s about time!
The long and distinguished journalism career of 26-year-old Ronan Farrow, who started his first TV show on MSNBC this past Monday, has finally been recognized with a Cronkite Award for Excellence in Exploration in Journalism.

Many said “gee, that was fast,” except in a much snarkier way:
Ronan Farrow winning a Cronkite Award has to be the zenith of the "everyone gets a trophy" trend, right? RIGHT?

Ronan Farrow of #MSNBC is on air for 3 days and receives a Cronkite Award. #Fixed, How big of a scam are broadcasting awards?

Roman Farrow to get Walter Cronkite journalism award. I have yogurt in my refrigerator that is older than his career in journalism

@BradThor That would be as stupid as giving someone the Nobel Peace Prize for doing absolutely nothing. Oh, wait, that's happened…
