Your 2009 Pulitzer Winners

Actually the R-J praised the Sun's win in an editorial.

We'd be remiss not to acknowledge that the Sun and Review-Journal have engaged in a fierce rivalry for decades, and it isn't unusual for the passions fueled by such competition to sometimes overflow onto the commentary and editorial pages of both newspapers.
But for one day, at least, we'll put all that aside and applaud this remarkable accomplishment. This award, along with a previous Pulitzer won by the Reno Gazette-Journal for editorial writing, represents a milestone in the history of Nevada newspapers. It will help improve the long-term quality of daily journalism in Las Vegas, something that will benefit this community and both publications alike.

And I'm glad that Coffee noted that the Sun isn't really a newspaper, but an independent section inside another daily. Before the insertion deal came about, the Sun's circ was around 30k, and can now claim the daily circulation of the R-J of 180k a day and 200k on Sunday.
Not to diminish the Pulitzer accomplishment but the Sun is the kind of paper that should be winning a ton of awards. No longer having to deal with the grind of daily coverage, the Sun works on long projects and all the other things that seem to get the judges' attention.

Isn't the Review-Journal mainly known as the wrapper the Sun is delivered in?
