Repulsive Pulitzer Prize-Winning Photos
I always considered the Pulitzer Prize as an honor bestowed on someone who took a picture that truly made a difference. Sadly, I was naive in thinking it were such an honorable thing. The newest winners of the Pulitzer Prize are truly repulsive and pathetic.
Not only do they continue the Main Stream Media's portrayal of the war in Iraq as a lost and unjust cause, they are completely offensive to anyone with any sense of respect for the victims portrayed.
Basically, the winners all pictures of dead Americans, or dead Iraqis. It's a celebration of death, and the people who chose these pictures as winners are simply celebrating the death of the innocent. This is an affront to those Iraqis and Americans alike.
Here they are, in all their biased, grotesque, and repulsively celebrated glory
(Hat Tip to Michelle Malkin for the link)
I'm surprised they didn't include a picture of the Pulitzer Prize Board members dancing atop a burning Humvee. (I'm sure they were on top of their desks, pretending to play along)

Not a single photo from the tsunami stricken areas was deemed worthy? Did all the photos suck? Or not politically charged enough?
