Poll: Enquirer for Pulitzer - Fair or Foul?

News that the Pulitzer Prize Board officially accepted The National Enquirer‘s submissions for breaking the John Edwards scandal hit the Web only hours ago but the response has already been insane and insanely varied.

Many fear that the Board’s acceptance of the Enquirer is a slippery slope that will ultimately tarnish the coveted prize while others claim it’s the perfect message to send MSM who’ve neglected investigative journalism.
