The National Enquirer Could Get A Pulitzer Prize
February 19, 2010
The Pulitzer Prize Board has officially accepted The National Enquirer’s submissions for breaking the John Edwards scandal, according to sources close to the Board. In a historic move, the Pulitzer Board conceded that the self-proclaimed tabloid is qualified to compete with mainstream news outlets for journalism’s most prestigious prize. The Enquirer is in the running for the Pulitzer in two categories: “Investigative Reporting” and “National News Reporting” for The National Enquirer staff.
I am most sure this will never happen, and yet one has to think how far the lowest common denominator has become the norm. Really sad.

When you think more about it, it isn’t sad. It is far from sad. A tabloid was able to uncover the truth. What they said was not a rumor, it was a fact.
