Watching The Media Try To Defend Themselves At The WH Correspondent’s Dinner Was So Pathetic It Hurt

I tried watching some of last night’s White House Correspondent’s dinner so I could update you guys on it, but uuuuuuuuughhhhh it was so booooooring. Basically just a bunch of elite oldfarts patting themselves on the back while desperately pleading with everyone to believe them and think they’re important. So lame.

Here’sthem toasting to free press, while shiftily recognizing that their glory days are over. How FREAKING poetic.

So… this is awkward.

“We are here to celebrate OURSELVES, and bash the president” is what I just heard.

Hahahahahahaha. OMG this is so pathetic. “We are not fake news!” Um, prove it. So far, you haven’t. Not even a liiiiittle bit.

Again, all talk.  All of your “mistakes” (aka false, biased, and misleading reporting) are largely in good faith? Really?

Are they aware that no matter how many times they say “we are not fake news” we still absolutely distrust them? Or was that supposed to make it aaaaaall better?

PATHETIC.

Meanwhile, Trump was at a rally in Pennsylvania, ripping the media a new one.
