The Pulitzer Prize is awarded by Columbia University in New York City. The award began in 1917. The Pulitzer Prize considers works in the media and the arts that have specifically been entered and reviewed for administrative compliance by the administrator’s staff. Entries must fit in at least one of the specific prize categories, and cannot simply gain entrance for being literary or musical. Works can only be entered in a maximum of two relevant categories, regardless of their properties. Recently the prize has come under fire for the fact that the articles that won the prize turned out to be false. Unfortunately, in recent years, the prize has become political.

On Monday, Newsbusters reported:

The 2026 Pulitzer Prizes were awarded Monday afternoon and, after a four-year hiatus of holding a sitting president to account, they climbed back aboard their high horses to dole out seven prizes for Trump-bashing “journalism” to the Associated Press, the Chicago Tribune, the Miami Herald, The New York Times, Reuters, and The Washington Post.

Come Tuesday morning, the Media Research Center will present the fifth annual Bulldog Awards, spotlighting outstanding achievements in conservative media across eight categories (Behind Enemy Lines, Columnist, Investigative Reporting, Podcast, Reporting, Social Media Personality, Talk Radio Host, and Lifetime Achievement) to honor those Pulitzer committee would never consider.

Back on the left, though, the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service — considered the most prestigious category — went to The Washington Post for stories that, as stated by administrator Marjorie Miller, “pierc[ed] the veil of secrecy around the Trump administration’s chaotic overhaul of federal agencies and chronicl[ed] in rich detail the human impacts of the cuts and the consequences for the country.”

The article notes:

There were only four journalism categories without an anti-Trump winner and/or finalist with Breaking News going to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune for its coverage of the August 27 shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church, Texas Monthly in Features for a first-person account of the Hill Country, Washington Post in Featured Photography for a “photo essay on young family welcoming the birth of their first child as the father is slowly dying from cancer,” and Pablo Torre Finds Out in Audio for reporting about the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Pulitzer committee also hand out awards in “Books, Music, and Drama,” which are also cesspools of liberal buffoonery.

For example, Drama went to a play celebrating feminism in the 1970s while far-left pundit Jill Lepore won in History for a book whining about the Constitution as archaic and too difficult to radically change.

I believe that the Pulitzer Prize has lost touch with the American people and with reality.
