Far-Left Politico Cartoonist Wins Pulitzer (http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2012/04/16/pulitzer-prizes-go-to-huffpo-politico?utm_source=e_breitbart_com&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Breitbart+News+Round+Up%2C+April+17%2C+2012&utm_campaign=Breitbart+News+Round+Up%2C+April+17%2C+2012&utm_term=More)
The Pulitzer Prize winners were announced today, and both Huffington Post and Politico won an award. The HuffPo award went to David Wood for his months-long series on wounded soldiers. The Politico award went to cartoonist Matt Wueker for "his consistently fresh, funny cartoons, especially memorable for lampooning the partisan conflict that engulfed Washington."
From their description, it sounds like "partisan conflict" might involve shots at both sides of the aisle. Sadly, that's not the case. You can probably guess the type of "fresh" humor that won Wueker the award, but I'll spare you the trouble. So as not to be accused of selecting from his work unfairly, let me just note the 20 examples Politico used in its slideshow celebrating Wueker's win:

So all together we've got 5 arguably non-partisan cartoons (#1,4,7,10,16) versus 10 aimed specifically at Republicans (2,6,9,12,13,14,15,17,18,20). The remaining cartoons (#3,5,8,11,19) don't specify a party but just happen to line up with the DNC view of the world (mostly class warfare). Notably, there is not a single cartoon which seems aimed solely or primarily at the left. Take note, young artists. This is how you win a Pulitzer Prize.
