Closed captioning of: Pulitzer for National Enquirer?
>>>
barren by wildfires.
>>>
could another
sex scandal
net a supermarket tabloid the
pulitzer prize
. let's get the scoop from courtney, msnbc.com
pop culture
queen.
>>>
"
national enquirer
" breaks one of the biggest stories we've had in recent memory, the
john edwards
scandal, denying his child. the "
national enquirer
" came out in
2009
with
dna tests
that proved that was his child. finally you had him admitting what had gone on. naturally i think any news organization who broke that sort of story would want to do, they threw their name in the hat for the
pulitzer prize
. initially there was talk they wouldn't be considered because of their tabloid status. it's been confirmed by people close to the pulitzer committee this they are, indeed, being considered for the pulitzer.

that's incredible.

i think it's entirely fair. among things the "
national enquirer
" revealed, it basically led to the
grand jury
probe that will be finding out more about that in, i believe, next month, whether he mismanaged campaign donations and all types of funding. i think they did fantastic reporting in this case. is it the "
national enquirer
" at the end of the day? yes. why should something considered a tabloid not be capable of hard news reporting and be punished because what they are seen at the supermarket news stand. interesting. we'll see how that plays out. this weekend after thinking about
tiger woods
please go to the movies. the big talk "shutter island"
martin scorsese
and
leonardo dicaprio
. this was supposed to come out in october pushed to
february 19th
because of the economy. a lot of people thought it might be a
bad movie
. february is historically a month where movies go to die. studio paramount said releasing in the fourth quarter would have been devastating.
