WHAT A JOKE: Low Energy White House Correspondents’ Dinner Bombs, Axios Reporter Makes Stunningly Obvious Revelation About Biden’s Cognitive Decline – “We Missed a Lot of This Story” (VIDEO)
The most hated people in America gathered on Saturday night to pat themselves on the back for their dishonest reporting at the White House Correspondents Association (WHCA) Dinner.
This year’s dinner, which President Trump skipped amid tension with the leftist media over the decision to bar Associated Press reporters from the Oval Office pool and the Correspondents’ Association’s initial decision to host a Trump-hating comedian, had little to no attention surrounding it.
As the Hill puts it, there was “less glitz and glamour than previous years.” The New York Times says, “actual celebrities were hard to find.” And unlike previous years, there was almost no buzz on social media.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, leftist comedian Amber Ruffin’s act was canceled after she appeared on CNN and said she hoped President Donald Trump would not attend the dinner.
“At this consequential moment for journalism, I want to ensure the focus is not on the politics of division but entirely on awarding our colleagues for their outstanding work and providing scholarship and mentorship to the next generation of journalists,” WHCA President Eugene Daniels said upon announcing the change.
Instead, they used the night to pretend to care about the First Amendment and act as if they’re doing Yeoman’s work to hold the government accountable, which couldn’t be further from the truth.
As trust in the media is at an all-time low, Eugene Daniels, the Queen President of the Association, desperately tried to humanize the dishonest leftist media in a defensive manner. “What we are not is the opposition, what we are not is the enemy of the people, and what we are not is the enemy of the state,” he cried.
Daniels: We journalists are a lot of things. We are competitive and pushy, we are impatient, and sometimes we think we know everything. But we’re also human. We miss our families and significant life moments in service to this job. We care deeply about accuracy and take seriously the heavy responsibility of being stewards of the public’s trust. What we are not is the opposition, what we are not is the enemy of the people, and what we are not is the enemy of the state.
Daniels was indirectly calling out the Trump Administration for hostility toward the leftist press. However, as Sean Spicer notes, nobody cared when the Biden White House and DEI Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre revoked the credentials of honest journalists.
any speakers at tonight’s White House Correspondents Dinner who complain about press access after sitting silently as @K_JeanPierre revoked 440 hard passes loses even more credibility

Another X user called out the “oddly dressed” Eugene Daniels for whining about the First Amendment and pretending to care about accuracy, as they continue to push hoaxes surrounding January 6, Russian collusion in the 2016 election, COVID-19, and more.
White House Correspondents Dinner was held tonight. Guarantee they got the worst ratings in modern history. Wasn’t important enough to have the current @POTUS or even a comedian attend/present

These are the same people describing a deported Salvadoran MS-13 gang member and illegal alien as a “Maryland father,” who was wrongly deported. They are, in fact, the enemy of the people.
These are also the same people who spent four years covering for Joe Biden’s cognitive decline while the rest of America knew he was unfit to serve. They then ignored the Democratic Party’s coup against Biden and propped up DEI Vice President Kamala Harris. They are everything they claim they’re not.
Introduced by bitter anti-Trump NBC hack Kristen Welker, Alex Thompson of Axios received the Aldo Beckman Award for Journalistic Excellence and a $2500 reward for his “aggressive reporting on President Biden,” revealing that “the President’s cognitive decline was impacting his ability to do his job.” Nearly everybody in America knew this, but they’re still pretending this is new information.
In his speech, Thompson softly called out the White House Press Corps, who lied about Biden’s cognitive decline. “We, myself included, missed a lot of this story, and some people trust us less because of it,” he said, refusing to acknowledge that they were part of the cover-up.
WATCH:
Thompson: To my bones, I believe that reporting and the White House Correspondents’ Association is as necessary as ever. President Biden’s decline and its cover-up by the people around him is a reminder that every White House, regardless of party, is capable of deception. But being truth tellers also means telling the truth about ourselves. We, myself included, missed a lot of this story, and some people trust us less because of it.
We bear some responsibility for faith in the media being at such lows. I say this because acknowledging errors builds trust and being defensive about them further erodes it. We should have done better. I believe our mission is vital in a world where people are struggling to figure out what’s true, and people with power are not telling the truth. I also believe that this association has been, is, and will continue to be critical to that mission.
