The Pulitzer Prize process is criticized for favoring liberal narratives over conservative journalism, as noted by a former candidate who highlights the lack of recognition for stories that challenge the status quo. The recent winners exemplify this bias, with awards going to outlets for coverage that aligns with liberal viewpoints.
The Washington Post's award for its cautious reporting on an assassination attempt against Donald Trump and ProPublica's recognition for biased reporting on abortion-related deaths illustrate a trend of awarding journalism that fits a liberal agenda, raising questions about the integrity of the prize.
