Agreed. Another Freeper and I drove down to his wake and funeral, and I got that definite impression.

Patrick Gavin, a former Politico journalist whose 2015 documentary “Nerd Prom” cast an unflattering light on the dinner...

BS... it's NOT 'Nerd Prom' - it's "Hollywood Attractive Narcissists and Washington Unattractive Narcissists" join to rip-off taxpayers in fake charity 'tax deductible' party...

"Nerd" implies intellect and an obsession with facts, numbers and truth. Almost the exact opposite of today's 'journalists'.

And our people?

We should boycott the 'rip-off nonprofit excuse for ways to party on the taxpayers dime' by donating almost NOTHING to charity or scholarships or whatever their BS excuse it for letting Hollywood write the trip off their taxes.

Presstitution doesn’t pay like it used to.

If it weren’t for Hollywood politicians and their donors would have nowhere to go to Money launder their donations. The stars are used as hosting donor parties so that the big donors can funnel their cash thru celebrities and bypass donation limits. The Correspondents dinner is the ‘gathering’ to sustain all their media connections and vice versa. One hand feeds the other..

[GOPJ]

I guess it’s too much to ask ‘the press’ to look into these kinds of rip-offs...

[caww]

They won’t investigate it because they all have a vested interest in ‘not’ investigating..media and Hollywood walk hand in hand with Demorats.

[Taxman]

Thank you for your Doctor Raoul tribute.

He is missed!

[rlmorel]

Indeed...indeed.

[Albion Wilde]

Love that headline!

[sphinx]

If I had the tools and skills, I’d make an animated gif of zoo monkeys rattling their cage and flinging poop at the spectators, and label it the White House press corps. If you know how, feel free to appropriate the idea.

[Taxman]

We were most fortunate to be, ALL TOO BRIEFLY, in his orbit!

[sauropod]

Yep!
