Frankly, the pulizter, oscar or any of these prizes are meaningless to me since it is apparent that they are part advertisements and part agenda pushing and any objective measure of achievement. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

If the most prestigious award in journalism doesn't count for anything, you could always read up on how they formed their investigative arm (which includes links to some pretty solid journalism): https://www.poynter.org/tech-tools/2016/how-buzzfeed-built-a...

Or you can just go "nuh uh". ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
