Friedman began his career as a reporter and won two Pulitzer Prizes in the 1980s for his coverage on conflict in Lebanon and politics in Israel, followed by a further prize in 2002 for commentary on the war on terror.
His later work as a political columnist has been criticised for both weak writing style and a gravitation towards voguish positions.[citation needed]
