NEWSER: Snobs Doomed Enquirer’s Pulitzer Bid

April 13, 2010
Bookmark and Share

(NEWSER) – By any sane measure, the unmasking of John Edwards as a philanderer who knocked up his mistress while his wife battled cancer was one of the all-time great scoops—except in determining the winners of yesterday’s Pulitzer Prizes for journalism. “The media elite circled the wagons to exclude the scrappy, self-proclaimed supermarket tabloid,” Emily Miller writes for theWashington Times.

“If the New York Times or the Washington Post had broken the same stories about Mr. Edwards, the Pulitzer would have been a slam dunk,” she rages. Instead, the mainstream media looked the other way as Edwards’ web of lies unraveled. Still, there’s a silver lining, Miller writes: “The next time the Enquirer uncovers a political scandal, the mainstream media will have no choice to pay attention—and follow up.”

    You should certainly think about working on growing this site into a major authority in this market. You certainly have a grasp handle of the matters everybody is looking for on this site anyways and you could certainly even make a dollar or two off of some advertising. I would explore following recent topics and raising the amount of write ups you put up and I guarantee you’d begin seeing some awesome targeted traffic in the near future. Just a thought, good luck in whatever you do!

    I have a bit of a predicament right here. I would love to get myself a good phone and I’m having trouble to make up my mind on which phone to choose. First of all, i thought of the Nokia 5070, which my friend has. It appears pretty durable, and everything seemed cool, but then i started researching other phones. Now my biggest dilemma is to choose between the Nokia N97 and the Samsung Blackjack i607. All advice is welcome.
