Bloggers React To Pulitzer Announcement

This year's Pulitzer Prize winners were announced yesterday, and bloggers who love to hate the media wasted no time in reacting.

With few exceptions, the reactions are surprisingly muted. Power Line penned the harshest criticisms -- over the award to The New York Times ("The Pulitzer Prize For Treason") for breaking the news about secret domestic surveillance by the Bush administration, and over the award to Washington Post fashion writer Robin Givhan ("The Pulitzer Prize for Vapidity").

Firedoglake also lamented "what a sad waste of time the Pulitzers have become." But one writer at Daily Kos, which keeps company in the same part of the blogosphere as Firedoglake, had a different take: "This year's Pulitzers have been announced, featuring some outstanding work, and some not so outstanding work, but that happens."

America Abroad, Americablog and Michelle Malkin also commented. The Hotline's Blogometer has a roundup as well.
