I know the winner is enormously deserving, but I still find it hard to believe that this photo did *not* win the Pulitzer Prize in breaking news photography.

I find it astonishing it didn't win the Pulitzer.

I would have given 10:1 that there would be no way that would be given the Pulitzer.

An icon for the ages.

To have been fired upon, in malice, and rise defiantly. This is a defining moment in history.

If it were a Democrat presidential candidate (and eventual winner) doing the exact same thing in the exact same circumstances, it would have won the Pulitzer.

I would have been astonished if it did.

Byron York might be one of the last people outside the MSM who actually GAF about Pulitzer Prizes.

Had it struck his head, the photographer hired to record the assassination would have receive the Pulitzer.
His timing for capturing the 'bullet in flight' photo would have had completely different content.
He brought the right equipment.
So how did he know to bring that high-speed camera?

Right after the assassination attempt, even Cenk Uygur from The Young Turks said the photo should win a Pulitzer.

I would have been astonished if it had won. It would have suggested there was an ounce of credibility in the Pulitzer committee.

CNN happened to be there in the boondocks, for some reason, First time in a long time filming the whole thing.

That’s what TDS will do to you. It goes to show how petty the left is.

That’s not a big deal. The image is famous all on its own and will probably get more circulation now.

If it had been a democRAT, they would have tried to rename Pulitzer to the democRAT name.

It’s certainly deserving of the Pulitzer, but I would never think that it would actually win.

Even with at high speed camera video taping, it’s still almost miraculous that the bullet showed up on the picture when you consider the milliseconds it must have been just right to catch it.

In all seriousness, the Pulitzer Prize always goes to the writers/photographers who stir up the masses over nothing. This is because the one it’s named after, Joseph Pulitzer, got us into war with Spain using yellow journalism over the explosion of the USS Maine by stirring up the masses over what was probably a boiler explosion (as steamers were prone to do).

It would have validated his fighting spirit; the swamp isn’t about to give him any credit.

The Pulitzer Prize has lost its luster.
As the Nobel Prize lost its shine for choosing two men who had no credibility and accomplishments.

Barack Obama and Al Gore were and still remain bereft of class or honor!

Shame on the Nobel Prize for their poor choices!
