Awards are Meaningless

We all remember Obama getting the Nobel Peace Prize before he did one thing to promote peace.
Now we have Woody Allens son Ronan getting the Cronkite Award for journalistic excellance after 3 days into his program.:

"Reach the World, a global education group, will honor the 26-year-old Farrow with its annual Cronkite Award for Excellence in Exploration and Journalism."

Wonder how the really good reporters feel about that. So are awards now to be handed out like candy to promote people even tho they have done nothing to warrant winning them?

Congratulations, enjoy.
