Deep dives
Critique of the White House Correspondents Association
The White House Correspondents Association has shifted its approach by canceling the comedian originally slated for their annual dinner, focusing instead on celebrating journalism. This decision reflects a growing discontent among journalists regarding their past coverage, particularly questioning how effectively they have challenged political figures. Critics argue that rather than confronting issues like Biden’s perceived weaknesses, the media has often shielded him, selectively emphasizing negative aspects of Trump instead. This change is perceived as an acknowledgment of the media's failures and an attempt to redefine priorities toward genuine recognition of journalistic contributions.
