It lost all its credibility, the day it awarded a guy with no record, the same prize.

Oh, how that has turned and bitten them!

Are you talking about President Obama winning the Nobel?

The Pulitzer Prize and the Nobel Prize are two TOTALLY different awards. They are not in any way related.

This award was given to David Wood for a series he wrote on wounded veterans returning home.

(The big news, IMHO, is that no award was given for fiction this year. That's a bit of a wowzer.)

Apparently the OP does not know that Pulitzer was the "founder" of yellow journalism. That the Huff Po would win this award given the history corrupt reporting at Mr. Pulitzer's newspapers of the day is quite appropriate.

I read all the online news sites. The top three IMO are CBC news, AJE English and HuffPo.

How do they get nominated, does someone in the club nominate them and pay a $100 fee or something? I really would like to know.

I wouldn't trust any organization founded by a freak of a woman who has been in America God knows how many years and still can't speak understandable English.

HuffPo is far from credible. Just today they have a headline article about Nixon impeachment trials. Problem is, there was no Nixon impeachment trial. He resigned before it went to trial.

Damn, they're dumb over there.
