>>>>>>Is this true for all the recipients, with appropriate adjustments along the political scale; thus, say, also for Naipaul, in 2001, awarded the prize by essentially the same academy?

The point is not that 100% of the recipients are unworthy who get the prize for being anti-American hacks (Naipaul certainly deserved the prize and is not such a hack). The point is that those who ARE unworthy receive the prize due to being ant-American hacks.

The Literature Nobel prize, in recent years, seems to be working on the 50%-50% formula: about 50% of the literature Nobel prizes go to deserving recipients, such as Niapaul; the other 50% is reserved for pornographic or talentless folks whose main claim to fame is hating the west and all it stands for.
