Trust in the news media has dropped so far that after people watch Margaret Brennan on “Face the Nation,” they check their wrist to make sure she hasn’t stolen their watch. A new Gallup poll shows that 53% of Americans believe journalists are two-faced, lying dirtbags who have sunk so low they could walk under a snake’s belly with a top hat on. 36% say they couldn’t do it with a top hat but probably could with a derby or maybe a fedora. The remaining 11% say they watched the news just last night and think journalists are great, or maybe that was “Matlock” and they mean lawyers.
The White House Correspondents Association — or White House Correspondents Ass, for short — became concerned over the media’s falling popularity after White House Smokeshow Karoline Leavitt announced that, from now on, new media reporters would get front row seats at press briefings, while legacy reporters would be required to stand in the corner and repeat, “I will not lie about the president,” 400 times before they can ask a question, and even then can only ask it silently in their minds. 
The President of the White House Correspondents ASS Mr. Schmuckface McLowlife protested Miss Leavitt’s decision and said he would do anything to be allowed to sit close to her again or just to have a garment that still smelled of her perfume. Miss Leavitt responded, “Get the hell away from me, you creep,” which Mr. McLowlife took as a good sign, since at least she acknowledged his existence.

In an attempt to win back the good will of the public, journalists have hired a new spokesman, the accomplished hypnotist Swami Origami Umami, who is so excited to make the journalists’ case that he’s taken a pay cut from his former job of running the three card monte game off the top of a cardboard box outside the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan.
The Daily Wire interviewed Swami Umami, and we’re pleased to publish the transcript of that Q and A.
Q: Swami Umami, after the news media actively covered up Joe Biden’s dementia, why should anyone trust them ever again?
A: Concentrate on the tip of my finger. Listen to the sound of my voice. Sleep now. And when I snap my finger, you will awake knowing that the news media was dogged in bringing the truth to the American public. Here’s a new book by Jake Tapper that explains how he and other intrepid journalists uncovered Biden’s dementia. Would Jake Tapper write such a book if it weren’t true? Of course not.
Q: Yes, I guess Jake really did try to find out… No, wait, wait, that’s ridiculous. He lied like a dog, so did the rest of the press corps. And what about the Russian Collusion hoax? The news media held up the country for two years with that garbage even though they knew it was a psy-op by the Clinton campaign in league with a corrupt FBI and CIA.
A: Think of a rippling lagoon beneath a gently whispering waterfall. Imagine the steady plashing of the water as you drift into a peaceful trance. Now look: The New York Times and the Washington Post won Pulitzer Prizes for their work on Russian Collusion. Repeat after me: The Pulitzer Prize is very prestigious. They wouldn’t give it to newspapers who were perpetrating a hoax out of political malice. 
Q: Yes, of course, they don’t just give Pulitzer Prizes for… no, no, no, no. This is nonsense. The Pulitzer is just as corrupt as the Times and the Post. And what about how the media covered COVID. They made a hero out of Anthony Fauci while he was covering up his own role in the deaths of millions, then demonized far better doctors who were trying to get out the truth.
A: Look at my watch, swinging back and forth on its chain. The media battled Right-wing misinformation to bring Americans the truth about COVID.
Q: Yes, yes, I see now. Our news media is totally honest and has been doing a great job. Thank you, Swami Umami.
A: You’re welcome. Now, just relax. Let go of all your freedoms. And quack like a duck.

White House Correspondents Association

The White House Correspondents Association has dropped comedian Amber Ruffin from the annual dinner amid backlash over her recent comments about President Donald Trump and his administration.
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Taylor Budowich drew attention to the fact that Ruffin was scheduled to host — and that, during a Friday appearance on The Daily Beast podcast, she had referred to the Trump administration as &#8220;murderers&#8221; and had suggested that they should not be allowed to &#8220;feel human.&#8221;
&#8220;This year&#8217;s @whca dinner will be hosted by a 2nd rate comedian who is previewing the event by calling this administration &#8216;murderers&#8217; who want to &#8216;feel like human beings, but they shouldn’t get to feel that way, because you’re not,'&#8221; Budowich posted, sharing video of the podcast. &#8220;What kind of responsible, sensible journalist would attend something like this? More importantly, what kind of company would sponsor such as hate-filled and violence-inspiring event?&#8221;

WHCA President Eugene Daniels followed that with a letter on Saturday, stating that the organization would not have a comedian at the dinner at all in the interest of not contributing further to the <a href="https://deadline.com/2025/03/white-house-correspondents-dinner-scraps-plans-amber-ruffin-1236354014/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">politics of division</a>. He did not clarify as to whether the White House&#8217;s complaint had played any role in that decision.
&#8220;As a first step, I wanted to share that the WHCA board has unanimously decided we are no longer featuring a comedic performance this year,&#8221; Daniels wrote in part. &#8220;At this consequential moment for journalism, I want to ensure the focus is not on the politics of division but entirely on awarding our colleagues for their outstanding work and providing scholarship and mentorship to the next generation of journalists.&#8221;
The WHCA also skipped the traditional comedic portion of the annual dinner in 2019, during Trump&#8217;s first term, after comedian <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-smacks-comedian-who-mocked-sarah-sanders-james-barrett" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michelle Wolf</a> trashed then White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders during her 2018 performance. &#8220;What’s Uncle Tom but for white women who disappoint other white women?&#8221; she said, among other caustic comments.

White House Correspondents’ Dinner

After White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) would no longer have control over the daily press pool, the association decried it as a move that “tears at the independence of a free press.”
But when the Biden administration revoked the press credentials of 442 reporters, the Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/media/2023/05/09/white-house-press-rules-simon-ateba/">reported</a> that the WHCA took an “officially noncommittal stance.”
Between May and July in 2023, the Biden administration removed the White House press credentials from 442 reporters – cutting the number of reporters who had the credentials by about a third, The Daily Signal <a href="https://www.dailysignal.com/2023/08/04/white-house-purges-442-reporters-using-new-press-credential-rules/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> at the time. The purge came after the Biden White House changed the rules on who could receive the credentials, requiring them to obtain credentials from Congress or the Supreme Court. The move limited the number of reporters who had hard passes to attend White House press briefings or access the White House. Reporters who lost their hard passes then needed to obtain temporary day passes and undergo a Secret Service review to gain the same access.
On Tuesday, after the Trump administration <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-white-house-strips-whca-of-press-pool-control-opens-access-to-new-voices" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> it would decide which reporters would be included in the small pool that covers the president daily, WHCA president and incoming MSNBC weekend host Eugene Daniels released a statement saying the move “tears at the independence of a free press in the United States.”
“It suggests the government will choose the journalists who cover the president,” Daniels added. “In a free country, leaders must not be able to choose their own press corps.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
It’s an interesting statement from the president of an organization that, in 2021, said nothing publicly when the Biden administration began requesting questions ahead of time during press briefings. Some reporters began complaining about the practice, so the WHCA held a Zoom call about it, The Daily Beast <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/white-house-reporters-say-biden-team-asked-them-for-questions-in-advance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> at the time. During the call, leaders “advised print reporters to push back against requests by the White House press team to learn of questions in advance, or simply to not respond to the Biden team’s inquiries,” the Beast reported. At no time did the WHCA release a statement about the practice.
Instead, multiple reporters defended the practice, saying it was the norm before the first Trump administration and that Trump Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders did it on occasion. It was the norm during the Biden administration; however, it was not an occasional occurrence for major events. It also showed then-President Joe Biden’s age and lack of mental faculties, as he would <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/biden-spotted-holding-note-card-reporters-photos-names-call-joint-presser">carry</a> pictures of reporters along with their pre-submitted questions to the few press conferences he held.
One reporter angered by the process told the Beast that “the press can&#8217;t really do its job in the briefing room if the White House is picking and choosing the questions they want.”
Yet the WHCA said nothing.
Also in 2021, CNN’s Brian Stelter ran a segment questioning whether Fox News reporters should be removed from the White House Press Pool.
&#8220;Should it be a part of the White House Press Pool &#8230; should it be afforded the privileges that come with news gathering?&#8221; Stelter asked his liberal guests in the segment.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced on Tuesday that the White House press team will now determine who is in the &#8220;pool&#8221; of reporters following the president, a duty that has long been left to the association of reporters that cover the White House.
The move strips the White House Correspondents&#8217; Association (WHCA) of its role in picking what it <a href="https://whca.press/covering-the-white-house/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">describes</a> as the &#8220;small team of writers, photographers and technicians assigned each day to cover the commander-in-chief on behalf of the broader corps of correspondents.&#8221;
It is the latest salvo in a clash between the Trump White House and the organization, which is currently led by a reporter from Politico.
&#8220;For decades, a group of D.C.-based journalists — White House Correspondents Association — has long dictated which journalists get to ask questions of the president of the United States in these most intimate spaces. Not anymore. I am proud to announce that we are going to give power back to the people who read your papers, who watch your television shows, and who listen to your radio stations,&#8221; Leavitt said.

&#8220;Moving forward, the White House press pool will be determined by the White House press team. Legacy outlets who have participated in the press pool for decades will still be allowed to join. Fear not. But we will also be offering the privilege to well-deserving outlets who have never been allowed to share in this awesome responsibility,&#8221; Leavitt added. &#8220;Just like we added a new media seat in this briefing room, legacy media outlets who have been here for years will still participate in the pool, but new voices are going to be welcomed in as well.&#8221;
While &#8220;new media&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-admin-welcomes-new-media-into-white-house-press-corps" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gained</a> access to press briefings this past month, the WHCA&#8217;s ability to select who participates in the press pool was challenged when the Trump White House barred Associated Press reporters from &#8220;pooled&#8221; events in the Oval Office and Air Force One over its refusal to use the abide by the administration&#8217;s preference for the name Gulf of America over the Gulf of Mexico. The WHCA backed the AP in a lawsuit against the White House.
Politico&#8217;s Eugene Daniels, who is president of the WHCA, responded to the White House press pool decision with a <a href="https://x.com/EugeneDaniels2/status/1894470877170765917" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> that said: &#8220;This move tears at the independence of a free press in the United States. It suggests the government will choose the journalists who cover the president. In a free country, leaders must not be able to choose their own press corps.&#8221;
The pool is often able to shape the news by determining what questions are asked of the president during daily events, which are usually only accessible to pool reporters. White House reporters not granted access to the pool are mostly confined to the press briefing room, where there are only a few briefings each week.
The WHCA also determines who is given a permanent seat in the briefing room.

Trump White House Strips WHCA of Press Pool Control, Opens Access to ‘New Voices’

U.S.

The Trump White House has barred the Associated Press from entering the Oval Office and boarding Air Force One, pointing to the outlet’s continued use of “Gulf of Mexico” instead of the administration’s newly proclaimed “Gulf of America.”
President Trump issued an executive order last month to institute the name change in government agencies and among federal contractors, but the AP and other non-government institutions have resisted the change.
The AP claims that since the order has not been recognized internationally, it would continue calling the body of water the Gulf of Mexico, and is <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/14/media/white-house-ap-ban-air-force-one-oval-office-gulf-of-mexico/index.html">preparing</a> a lawsuit challenging the White House’s decision, according to CNN.
The White House has only barred AP reporters from “pooled” events at both the Oval Office and Air Force One, with the outlet’s photographers still permitted along with retaining their white house credentials, according to White House Deputy Chief of Staff Taylor Budowich.
“While their right to irresponsible and dishonest reporting is protected by the First Amendment, it does not ensure their privilege of unfettered access to limited spaces, like the Oval Office and Air Force One,” Budowich said in a statement on X.

“Going forward, that space will now be opened up to the many thousands of reporters who have been barred from covering these intimate areas of the administration,” Budowich said.
Budowich reiterated the administration’s disapproval of the AP’s editorial stance, characterizing the outlet’s refusal to adopt the new name for the gulf as “not just divisive, but it also exposes the Associated Press’ commitment to misinformation.” Another official indicated that the spaces previously occupied by AP correspondents would now be made available to a rotation of other outlets.
The White House Correspondents Association called the move “a textbook violation of not only the First Amendment, but the president’s own executive order on freedom of speech and ending federal censorship.”

The White House Correspondents&#8217; Association released a statement on Thursday blasting <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/cnn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a> for refusing to allow any print media reporters into the venue during the debate between former President Donald Trump and current President Joe Biden.
New York Times media reporter Ben Mullin shared a full statement — written by WHCA president Kelly O&#8217;Donnell — noting that CNN had &#8220;rejected our repeated requests to include the White House travel pool inside the studio.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

According to O&#8217;Donnell&#8217;s statement, the WHCA supports CNN&#8217;s decision to allow a television feed of the debate and to allow still photographers from a number of outlets access to the venue, but criticized the network for refusing to allow even the White House travel pool access to the studio during debate proceedings.
&#8220;WHCA has been informed that one print reporter will be permitted to enter the studio during a commercial break to briefly observe the setting. That is not sufficient in our view and diminishes a core principle of presidential coverage,&#8221; O’Donnell wrote. &#8220;The White House pool has a duty to document, report and witness the president’s events and his movements on behalf of the American people.&#8221;
&#8220;The pool is there for the ‘what ifs?’ in a world where the unexpected does happen. A pool reporter is present to provide context and insight by direct observation and not through the lens of the television production,&#8221; the letter continued. &#8220;A pool reporter is an independent observer whose duties are separate from the production of the debate as a news event. The pool reporter works on behalf of the entire White House press corps.&#8221;

O&#8217;Donnell went on to note that because the White House travel pool had all been cleared by Secret Service there would be no additional security risk – and also said that both the Biden campaign and the Trump campaign had stated that they had no issue with a pool reporter being present during the debate.
&#8220;WHCA respectfully requests that CNN adjust its plan and welcome the White House travel pool print representative to witness the debate in full for the sake of the news cycle, for history and mostly importantly for the American people,&#8221; O&#8217;Donnell&#8217;s letter concluded.

Trump vs. Biden Debate

White House Reporters Excoriate CNN Over Decision To Exclude All Media From Debate

Debates

President Joe Biden used his bully pulpit at the annual White House Correspondents&#8217; Dinner to warn journalists about the risks and dangers posed by &#8220;disinformation&#8221; — and spread a little disinformation of his own in the process.
During his brief remarks at Sunday evening&#8217;s dinner, Biden framed the 2024 presidential race as a choice that would determine whether democracy was &#8220;still the sacred cause of America,&#8221; suggesting that the answer to that question was no unless the people reelected him.
Biden went on to say that unless the people had the right information, they couldn&#8217;t make the right decision — and he called on journalists to &#8220;rise up to the seriousness&#8221; of the situation.

&#8220;On the third anniversary of January 6, I went to Valley Forge and I said the most urgent question of our time is whether democracy is still — is still the sacred cause of America. That is the question the American people must answer this year and you, the free press, play a critical role in making sure the American people have the information they need to make an informed decision,&#8221; Biden began.
Biden then turned to attack former President Donald Trump, delivering a series of partial truths and out-of-context quotes.
&#8220;The defeated former President has made no secret of his attack on our democracy he said he wants to be a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/in-a-stunning-act-of-bravery-the-atlantic-claims-trump-will-be-a-dictator" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dictator</a> on day one and so much more.

When in God&#8217;s name ever heard of another president say something like that? And he promised a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/medias-wall-to-wall-coverage-of-trump-bloodbath-comment-delivers-zero-context" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bloodbath</a> when he loses again,&#8221; Biden said.
He then pivoted back to the press, claiming that he was not asking them to &#8220;take sides&#8221; while pressing them to push back against Trump: &#8220;We have to take this seriously. Eight years ago, it could have been written off as just Trump talk but no longer, not after January 6. I&#8217;m sincerely not asking you to take sides, but asking a rise up to the seriousness of the moment.&#8221;
&#8220;Move past the horse race numbers and the gotcha moments, and the distractions, the sideshows that have come to dominate and sensationalize our politics and focusing on what&#8217;s actually at stake,&#8221; the president continued. &#8220;I think in your hearts, you know what&#8217;s at stake. The stakes couldn&#8217;t be higher every single one of us has roles to play — a serious role, to play in making sure democracy endures, American democracy. I have my role, but with all due respect, so do you. In the age of disinformation, credible information that people can trust is more important than ever and that makes you, and I mean this with the bottom of my heart, makes you more important than ever. So tonight, I&#8217;d like to make a toast — to a free press, to an informed citizenry, to an American where freedom and democracy endure. God bless America.&#8221;

Anti-Israel protesters swarmed the streets surrounding Saturday evening&#8217;s White House Correspondents&#8217; Dinner, shouting at attendees and draping a massive Palestinian flag from one of the windows of the host hotel.
Associated Press reporter Farnoush Amiri commented on the crowds waiting outside the venue, saying that the scene before her was very different than it had been in years past.
&#8220;This is my third year covering the WHCD as the designated AP reporter for the WH pool and I’ve never seen anything like this,&#8221; she said of the gathered protesters. &#8220;President Biden’s motorcade will likely drive by these crowds shortly.&#8221;

Protesters attempted to surround attendees — among them Caitlyn Jenner — and confront them as they arrived, calling on journalists to boycott the event.
The protesters claimed they were there &#8220;to protest media complicity in genocide,&#8221; complaining that Palestinian journalists were being killed &#8220;with full U.S. backing&#8221; for reporting on the situation in Gaza.

Daily Wire editor emeritus <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ben-shapiro" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ben Shapiro</a> mocked the annual <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/white-house-correspondents-dinner" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White House Correspondents&#8217; Dinner</a> (WHCD) on Monday for revealing why Americans can&#8217;t &#8212; and shouldn&#8217;t &#8212; trust the cozy relationship between big media and politicians.
“The WHCD is perhaps the best example of why Americans feel alienated by the Washington DC elite class – all of whom are supposed to be checks and balances on one another, but who are actually all part of the same blob,” Shapiro wrote in a Twitter thread.
The annual White House Correspondents Dinner was held Saturday evening in Washington, D.C., with journalists from major networks such as CBS and Fox News partying alongside numerous Republicans and Democratic leaders, including President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. The event also featured stars from sports, Hollywood, fashion, and elsewhere, such as actress Chrissy Teigen and WNBA star and former Russian prisoner Brittany Griner.
Biden attended for the second year in a row after the dinner was canceled in 2020 and 2021 because of COVID-19. Former President Donald Trump shunned the event for three years amid his adversarial relations with major media outlets in New York and Washington.
Shapiro took aim at some of the more blatant examples of what he dubbed the “blob” culture on display at the event.
“Hey look, it’s Joe Biden openly joking about the fact that he takes no questions – and the press are laughing uproariously as they give an award to a ‘journalist’ who writes sop pieces about him! Hey look, there’s [Republican National Committee chairwoman] Ronna McDaniel hanging with [Democratic National Committee chairman] Jaime Harrison!”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The journalist Shapiro referenced was Matt Viser of The Washington Post. The White House Correspondents Association, which hosts the WHCD, awarded Viser the Aldo Beckman Award for Overall Excellence in White House Coverage for his coverage of Biden, specifically Viser’s coverage of Biden’s faith.
“The judges said Matt Viser stood out among his competitors for work that went beyond the humdrum of covering the managed events of the presidency and the White House. Viser captured the spirit of Joe Biden, particularly with stories about the president’s brother and how his Catholic faith influenced his strategic vision of the office,” said Karen Travers, the White House correspondent for ABC News who announced the award.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Biden’s devotion to his Catholic faith often comes into question when he touts his support for policies such as abortion, gay marriage, and sex-change surgeries for minors. The contradictions between Biden’s politics and the tenets of his professed religion have been minimized in Viser’s stories.
“Biden is arguably the most observant president in decades, and his faith is a core part of his identity. He rarely misses Mass. He crosses himself in public. He quotes scripture, he cites hymns and he clutches rosary beads ahead of key decisions,” Viser wrote of Biden in a June 2021 <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/biden-catholic-bishops/2021/06/18/acf576c0-d04a-11eb-a7f1-52b8870bef7c_story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a>, which characterized Biden’s views as part of a “church battle between traditionalists and reformers.”
The WHCA award was the target of some mockery and criticism online.
“His faith you say? Just reflect on how the press treated VP Pence when it was revealed his wife was a teacher at a Christian school,” Hudson Institute senior fellow Rebeccah Heinrichs <a href="https://twitter.com/RLHeinrichs/status/1652764380226781188" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. “It was like every newsroom discovered orthodox Christian views and lost their minds. But the faith of the president ‘overseeing’ the most anti-orthodox Christian secular admin in the nation’s history? charming.”
New York Post columnist Miranda Devine <a href="https://twitter.com/mirandadevine/status/1652668420649779204" target="_blank" rel="noopener">added</a>: “Washington Post, speaking truth to power,” with a laughing emoji.
Viser also <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/05/31/jimmy-biden-president-brother/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> on the president’s relationship with his brother, James, and some of James’ business deals and work with the president’s son, Hunter.

Ben Shapiro Rips White House Correspondents Dinner: DC Elites ‘All Part Of The Same Blob’

Ben Shapiro

Comedian Roy Wood Jr. slammed the media Saturday night during the annual White House Correspondents’ Association dinner for the difference in how it reported on the classified document scandals of former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t know about you all but for me the easiest scandal to follow was the Trump documents scandal that was the one that was easy to follow,&#8221; Wood Jr. said. &#8220;It was simple, is some stuff that&#8217;s supposed to be in the White House that ain&#8217;t. In the media, you all did y&#8217;alls job. You all jumped on that story. As soon as the Trump document story broke, everybody was down at Mar-a-Lago. &#8216;We&#8217;re reporting live from the documents and we&#8217;re going to find them!'&#8221;
&#8220;And then we found out Joe Biden had documents too and it was like &#8216;oh, it&#8217;s not a big deal,'&#8221; he continued. &#8220;It&#8217;s not a big deal. Everybody got documents, everybody got documents, oh, look at Chinese spy balloon would you look at that. Well done media. Happy to be here. Very happy to be here.&#8221;

Wood went on to mock Biden again over his age and some of the other scandals that he has faced.
&#8220;We have an 80-year-old man begging us for four more years of work, begging, begging. Let me finish the job. That&#8217;s not a campaign slogan. That&#8217;s a plea,&#8221; Wood said.

&#8220;You&#8217;ve had quite a few scandals,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;You know, we know about the documents, we know about the laptops, but there&#8217;s been no scandal more damaging than the scandal of is Joe Biden awake?&#8221;

Comedian Blasts The Media For How It Covered Biden Document Scandal Vs. Trump Document Scandal

The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/veteran-journalist-warns-about-most-dangerous-reporters-ahead-of-white-house-correspondents-dinner" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White House Correspondents&#8217; Association</a> held its annual dinner Saturday night, an event meant to celebrate the First Amendment and raise money for journalism scholarships. Unfortunately for the press corps, its members didn&#8217;t realize President Joe Biden was laughing at the media — not with it — throughout the evening.
&#8220;In a lot of ways, this dinner sums up my first two years in office. I’ll talk for 10 minutes, take zero questions, and cheerfully walk away,&#8221; Biden said during his speech.
The president typically makes a number of wisecracks meant in good fun, but that one was a clear mockery of the so-called reporters who cover the president.
How did the 2,600 or so in attendance react? They all chuckled along, clapping like seals, unaware that they were the butt of the joke.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Don&#8217;t take my word for it. Listen to senior CNN commentator and former Bush staffer Scott Jennings explain to his colleagues why they should be embarrassed.
&#8220;On Biden, the line that will stick with me is, ‘in a lot of ways, this dinner sums up my first two years in office, I’ll talk for 10 minutes, take zero questions, and cheerfully walk away,’&#8221; Jennings said on CNN Sunday morning.  &#8220;For the journalists in the room, he wasn&#8217;t laughing with you, he was laughing at you.&#8221;
https://twitter.com/KevinTober94/status/1652512585969704962?s=20
&#8220;The guy does not take questions, he’s up there joking about it,&#8221; Jennings <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/cnn-panelist-calls-out-biden-joke-never-taking-questions-press-laughing?intcmp=tw_fnc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">added</a>. &#8220;I&#8217;m pro-reporter, and I think the President of the United States ought to have to talk to these reporters and not mock them.&#8221;
Indeed, think of all the alleged scandals that the White House press pool either ignores or covers late into the game: Hunter Biden&#8217;s laptop, Russiagate, the real status of the war in Ukraine, Biden&#8217;s classified documents, the Biden family making money off the family name and political access,  the weaponization of the Department of Justice and so many more.

There was barely a mention of any of that on Saturday night, except for the emcee who actually made fun of the lapdog media for its double standard over former President Donald Trump&#8217;s handling of classified documents versus Biden&#8217;s.
&#8220;As soon as the Trump document story broke, everybody was down at Mar-a-Lago reporting live&#8230;And then we found out Joe Biden had documents, too, and it was like ‘it’s not a big deal,&#8221; Roy Wood, Jr. said, again making fun of the inadequate state of journalism.
https://twitter.com/KevinTober94/status/1652508845497778176?s=20
The crowd chortled again. Why? Because it&#8217;s true. They know that journalists, by and large, have a double standard.
That&#8217;s what makes Biden&#8217;s disrespect for the press so incredulous. He has to face friendly journalists, and he still avoids them. Imagine if America had an actual media complex that held the president accountable.
We don&#8217;t. Biden knows that, and he laughs right in their faces about it.

Welp, Saturday night is the annual &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/white-house-correspondents-association" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White House Correspondents&#8217; Association Dinner</a>&#8221; and the Beltway media crowd is particularly elated because both President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will be in attendance.
Most in attendance view themselves as the cornerstone of Democracy, when in actuality they are propagandists for the professional political class. But one veteran journalist is offering advice to his colleagues while cautioning Americans to watch out for what he dubs the &#8220;most dangerous&#8221; kind of reporter.
&#8220;The @WhiteHouse press corps is under harsh scrutiny as never before — just as we prepare to gather, chummily, with @POTUS for the @whca #WHCA dinner tonight,&#8221; Newsmax White House reporter James Rosen tweeted. &#8220;Here is what I think, based on twenty-five years in the Washington media, and as a reporter who aspires to objectivity.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Rosen praised many of his fellow press pool participants, acknowledging that they do actual journalism.
&#8220;But beware the reporters, in and beyond the @WhiteHouse, who believe themselves to be innately without bias and fearless pursuers of The Truth; they are the most dangerous, and often the most biased,&#8221; he tweeted.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Rosen also admonished the White House for their contempt of journalism. He seems to be the only member of the press, save maybe Peter Doocey and <a href="https://twitter.com/simonateba" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Simon Ateba</a>, who acknowledges that Biden and his lackeys, such as White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, treat the press with utter disdain. KJP rarely gives straightforward answers, the president shies away from off-the-cuff questions, and his team dreams about censoring so-called &#8220;misinformation&#8221; and squashing free speech.

&#8220;The current  @WhiteHouse disrespects the press corps in ways large and small on a daily basis, and tonight we will hear @POTUS serve up syrupy platitudes about his respect for us and the critical role we play in American democracy,&#8221; Rosen tweeted. &#8220;It will be difficult to take. At least @realDonaldTrump, his own contempt for the press notwithstanding, stayed away from the dinner and spared us the hypocrisy.&#8221;
Rosen also had some advice for the current White House Correspondents Association president, Tamara Keith of NPR. In that role, she&#8217;ll give an address Saturday night at the dinner in Washington, D.C.
<div class="css-1dbjc4n r-xoduu5">
&#8220;@tamarakeithNPR can make the usual jokes and nods to a blend of cordiality and adversarialism, the safe route—or she can use this moment to remind this @POTUS of his historic avoidance of the @WhiteHouse press corps and other damaging practices towards honest journalism,&#8221; he tweeted.

Well, to be blunt, Rosen&#8217;s caution about lapdog media who simply regurgitate Democratic talking points is refreshing., but from an outsider&#8217;s perspective, that comprises roughly 90% of corporate media. As for whether NPR&#8217;s Keith holds Biden accountable Saturday night, NPR&#8217;s coverage of the presidency doesn&#8217;t lend one to believe that will be the case. But, here&#8217;s to hoping.
