In a disappointing boost to its credibility, The Shovel failed to win a single award in the highly anticipated 2017 Fake News Awards announced by Donald Trump on Wednesday.
The awards were dominated by The New York Times, CNN, ABC News and The Washington Post.
The failure to win an award is further proof of The Shovel’s shift towards truth-in-reporting, with articles such as ‘Donald Trump Announces Plans To Count To A Million‘ and ‘Trump Named Times Toddler Of The Year’ notably missing out on a gong.
The failure to rate even an honourable mention in the awards ceremony has placed the editor under considerable pressure.
