PolitiFact's defenders love to point to the Pulitzer Prize for national reporting PolitiFact took home for a collection of 13 stories published in 2008. People apparently fail to realize the limited scope of judgment brought to bear by Pulitzer juries.
Fortunately, the Pulitzer folks have made it dead easy to turn that argument into a flaccid pretzel: James Rago of the Wall Street Journal won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Writing--and part of the collection he submitted contained his column "PolitiFiction," where he criticized PolitiFact's choice for its 2010 "Lie of the Year."
Congratulations to Mr. Rago.
Rago's column on PolitiFact was one of the first stories highlighted here at PolitiFact Bias.
