"We reject efforts by anyone, especially our elected leaders, to paint journalism as un-American," WHCA chief says
Margaret Talev, president of the White House Correspondents' Association, opened the dinner with an address about the core of journalism.
"Real news is sometimes happy, heart-warming, or heart-breaking and critical or makes you angry. But we reject efforts — be it anyone, especially our elected officials — to undermine journalism as un-American," Talev said.

That is pretty all inclusive. I might also be true.

I could have said, of the remaining 5%, 99.9% are Liars, but I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt.
Just attribute it to my amiable and generous side...

I saw Ed Henry on Fox blatantly state Trump was wrong months ago for stating the media is an enemy of the people. TRUE.
Ed Henry (on Fox media show with Kurtz) boasted we have a “First Amendment.” Since when? No white man has any freedom of speech. That freedom is allowed for Whoopi, Oprah, Al Sharpton,Amy Schumer,Snoop Dogg, Ellen, anyone on the View, and feminists.
White males have no freedom of speech. You will lose your job and be ostracized.
How many vulgar, threatening things by leftists got a pass (severed head, insulting Barron, vulgar comments about Melania, and on and on)?
FReepers always say “can you imagine if a white man had said that kind of thing....? No we can’t.

Jake Tapper, who was fed the dossier story by Clapper let that traitor then lie repeatedly to the public that he did not leak.
Jake Tapper is not a reporter. He’s a propaganda whole.

That loony President of the White House Correspondents needs to make a formal apology to Sarah Sanders. Any organization that gives Jake Tapper and Carl Bernstein an award these days is not going to be around long. Trump needs to do something different every time they have this event.

“FNCD Fake News Correspondents’ Dinner. Jake Tapper, Carl Bernstein and 2 others won a FNCD award for the “dossier.”
Yes. I couldn’t believe it! Then they smiled and stood proudly for a photograph! Laughable!

They are not journalists, they have become Press-titutes. They do it for the money. Like Fusion GPS.

I don’t watch TV. I’m not into comedians. But I really disliked Michelle Wolf’s treatment of Trump’s staff, especially Sarah Sanders.
Most ComDems I’ve know were in a totally different world. Loaded up on wacky weed.

"We reject efforts by anyone, especially our elected leaders, to paint journalism as un-American," WHCA chief says A lot of today's journalism IS un-American! It's also not often real journalism as the ones who are in the limelight all want to be stars of their own shows, write and sell books and get rich or run for public office.

And I think we can say that Free Republic is an excellent place to listen to the American language "on the street". I wholeheartedly agree!

“I predict the end of White House Corespondents Dinner in the near future.”
I hope so. So PROUD that PDJT did NOT attend. Next year? Don’t even send any representatives! Since PDJT wasn’t there, they bashed his aides.
Why give The Enemy as much as an inch?!?!

Brett Bair of FOX News just suggested they take a “breather” and not have it next year.

Journalism is
