White House Correspondents Dinner

NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers writer, CNN host, and cancelled White House Correspondents’ Dinner comedian Amber Ruffin travelled across town to CBS and The Late Show to join host Stephen Colbert to claim “it would be impossible to make jokes about both sides” and even “dangerous.”

Along with his viral comments on Chris Cillizza’s podcast defending the liberal media’s cover-up of Joe Biden’s cognitive decline, former Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd used the Monday episode of his own podcast to claim “most people in the press are not elites at all” and deride press criticism as “insult[ing]” and “biased” in and of itself that should be dismissed.

CNN might be funnier than the late night comedy shows, albeit unintentionally. During CNN Newsroom’s Saturday pregame show ahead of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, media analyst Sara Fischer claimed that freedom of the press has become increasingly politicized. Her first example was to claim that funding PBS and NPR is an “investment in the free press,” but that has now become…

Perhaps to mess with them after White House Correspondents Dinner (WHCD) weekend (aka the most self-righteous weekend of the year), White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and border czar Tom Homan dragged the press corps into the Brady Briefing Room Monday for an unusual morning press briefing emphasizing the administration’s rousing success of shutting down the border and deporting…

Incoming MSNBC host and former Politico reporter Eugene Daniels used his various sets of remarks throughout Saturday’s White House Correspondents Dinner to predictably and nauseatingly extol the supposed virtues of the First Amendment....which White House reporters behave as though it only applies to them.

The Wednesday edition of The Jim Acosta podcast saw the reunion of two of CNN’s most insufferable former hosts as Don Lemon joined the eponymous host to preview Saturday’s White House Correspondents Dinner. During their discussion, Lemon attacked “the freedom of speech” crowd for cancelling comedian Amber Ruffin and cited his own experience at being grilled by the dinner's comedian as…

NBC’s Seth Meyers welcomed one of his Late Night writers, Amber Ruffin, to join him on Monday’s show to attack the White House Correspondents Association for canceling Ruffin’s comedy routine at this year’s dinner. Ruffin made the mistake of saying the quiet part out loud when she claimed she would not use the occasion to roast all sides because the Trump Administration is similar to…

In a shocking turn-around, the White House Correspondents’ Association canceled plans to have extremely anti-Trump comedian Amber Ruffin perform at its annual dinner on April 26. President Trump, as well as his press secretary Karoline Leavitt, will not be attending the typically tilted proceedings. 

On Wednesday night, Politico reporter and White House Correspondents Association (WHCA) president Eugene Daniels — who’s soon leaving both positions for MSNBC — sent a lengthy email to members strongly suggesting they refuse to participate in the new press pool rotations created by the White House Press Office (or at least make a fuss out of it) and complaining that expanding who…

On Tuesday, White House Correspondents' Association President Eugene Daniels of Politico announced that Late Night with Seth Meyers writer Amber Ruffin will be this year’s featured comedian at the organization’s annual dinner.

It was remarkable breaking news, occurring live on CNN. The White House Correspondents Association hosted a dinner and a Biden for President rally broke out. CNN contributor Scott Jennings summed up the evening: “We had Biden speak tonight, and then we had a Biden surrogate effectively speak tonight.”

As he closed his remarks to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, also known as Nerd Prom, President Joe Biden directed the media to lean further in his direction in covering the 2024 presidential election.

If there’s anything more annoying than journalists and media types hyping up the White House Correspondents Dinner, it’s them blowing smoke about who they invited to be their guests. Viewers of Monday’s CBS Mornings were treated to that grotesque display as everyone gushed about them inviting anti-American basketball player Brittney Griner to be their guest of honor; even bragging…

The annual White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner is traditionally filled with out-of-touch liberal elites in the media, Hollywood & politics rubbing elbows in fancy ball gowns and tuxedos, while they thumb their nose at middle America. While that was true this year, there were some moments that enraged liberals and delighted conservatives, with emphasis on the word some. It was…
