Any "journalist" who goes to the White House Correspondents Dinner after Trump subpoenaed three New York Times reporters—simply for doing their jobs—should be ashamed. If, indeed, they have any shame.
I’m baffled that the event is even happening. (Are .gifs working? I’d insert the one with the white toy monkey sitting on a chair being baffled if my .gif thing was working. It ain’t.)
They have abandoned the standards and ethics that define journalism. They're not practicing journalism they're functioning as propaganda tools. That's the only kind words I've got.
Aren't most reporters now during the Trump semi-dictatorship (not a full dictatorship, not yet at least) as spineless as Republicans in Congress and the Senate unless they are independent reporters?
He had to sit through the award given to the wall street journal for reporting on his empstein ties. His lawsuit against the reporter outed her home address and she needed to move due to death threats
What exactly would any journalist get out of attending the White House Correspondents Dinner, knowing that Trump lies all the time? Why would they waste their time?
Well it is the correspondence dinner, it's not the president's dinner. It is too bad that you missed the speeches of the women reporters, they were worth the time and effort.
Imagine being a journalist and attending the White House Correspondents Dinner, only to sit through an evening of insults and degradation, spewed by the ("You're Fake News") president who openly hates you simply for existing.
I will unfollow any Independent media outlets who attends tonight.
The true irony is how upset he would have been if the “journalists” had not attended. He needs the attention and some one to belittle. In his feeble, infantile mind, all others , particularly those who criticize him, are worthless scum. By attending, they feed his fragile maniacal ego.
I truly hope a 'guest' list and/or attendee list is published. Not that I will be obliged to quit media outlets and reporters, but that I will be able to joyfully stop listening and quit paying attention to facist enablers.
I’m torn — especially since, for example, Wolff Blitzer shamed Fat Satan when he awarded journalists for thei r work in exposing the Epstein files… and also I heard they put up Donny’s birthday card to Epstein on the screen… so there’s that 🤷♀️
Many Journalists try to play both sides without the moral courage to expose truth and hold powerful people to account. Real journalists are rare today. Many brave journalists have been murdered in places like Palestine in order to silence them. The world slowly heading towards totalitarian rule.
A bunch of reporters could do a very funny thing tonite..I would so enjoy a near empty reception hall...I mean,,editors,producers will be there, how else can they show their power?, but the reporters..yea, catch a cold..stay home..
The best journalism now is being done by independent trained journalists. A huge paradigm shift is underway and this is a big reason why. Corporate journalism is 💩. I bailed years ago.
After all the accolades, grants given to budding journalists, those type of things...as soon as that fat orange ass steps to the podium everyone should get up and walk OUT EN MASSE...this Correspondents Dinner was NEVER MEANT TO HONOR ANYONE OTHER THAN JOURNOS!! NOT ANY PRESIDENT EVER EVER!!!
The #WorthlessScribblersofTheCorporateMedia (Ala @jefftiedrich.bsky.social ) is a true description of these DC Chuds. The MSM still mistake access for truth & sanewash #MangoMusdolini to get Oval Office invite.
They don’t. Jen Psaki said tonight, while we all were watching the slovenly fat bitch sound asleep, saying “his eyes were heavy”. No Jen, he’s an 80 year old 300 pound tub of shit that was sound asleep at the head table when he knows that everyone is looking right at him. Speak truth or STFU.
Hopefully names are all being taken and when the Dems are back in power all their credentials are revoked. If you are not prepared to ask questions, push back and just print what you are told to then you are not a real journalist and are a glorified social media troll.
They will claim they have to for “access”. Why even bother to have access to that lying sack of garbage? All he does is lie, and when anyone asks him a question he doesn’t want to answer, he insults them. Access doesn’t mean shit.
I hope every member of the Vichy press who attended the White House Correspondents Dinner last night woke up feeling shitty about themselves and their choice to attend.
Propaganda Nazi press will always be there for America 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Hitlers playbook is far far far from over.
America is still in for a very rude goddam awakening.
What in the fuck did you think would happen you stupid MOTHERFUCKERS.
Electing a criminal got you exactly what you get electing a criminal.
Amber Ruffin, Michael Ian Black, Roy Woods Jr, Michelle Wolf and Stephen Colbert should do their own counter program at the same time as the dinner and support their own journalism scholarship
Was just saying in another post how some of these "journalists" have no problem continuing to pile on people like Monica Lewinsky. But they don't have the BALLS to be confrontational with shitgibbon and his merry band of cretins.
