Just in case you failed to read the subject matter in Ref: #19, the link is attached...the Examiner

published an Op-Ed that ended up being fictitious...not quite up to Pulitzer standards IMO and they are probably still smarting from that fail...oh, it was the Daily Beast that called them out...imagine that.

As for the DB, the Wiki page on that publication (which you seem to trust now) they've had a couple of staffers plagiarize material...and gotten fired for it...shows standards being upheld by the DB...but no totally false articles...like the Examiner.

Bottom line...the Examiner is in no position to be criticizing the Pulitzer awards.
