"Der Versuch des Weißen Hauses, ein Medium zu bestrafen, dessen #Berichterstattung es nicht mag, ist höchst beunruhigend", protestierte die White House Correspondents' Association (#WHCA)

Das "Wall Street Journal" wurde von Trump auf 20 Mrd. US$ verklagt und wegen "verleumderischen Verhalten" aus dem Oval office verbannt.

Es hat zuvor über Trumps Verbindungen zu #Epstein berichtet.

The full US Court of Appeals for DC Circuit kept in place a June 6 decision by a divided 3-judge panel that the #Trump admin could legally restrict access to the #AP to news events in the Oval Office & other locations controlled by the White House including Air Force One.

The D.C. Circuit order denied the AP's request that it review the matter, setting up a possible appeal to the #SCOTUS.

WTF

US appeals court won't lift limits on #AssociatedPress #access to White House

A US appeals court on Tuesday declined to lift restrictions imposed by #Trump's admin on White House access by #AP #journalists after the #news organization declined to refer to the body of water long called the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America as he inanely prefers.

The White House Correspondents Photo of the Year is a Confusing Choice

The winning image of the WHCA's annual photography award is good, but the exclusion of another more iconic image is confusing.

“There was no president. There was no comedian. What remained at the #WHCA White House Correspondents’ Association’s annual dinner were the journalists and the First Amendment.”

Journalists gather to honor First Amendment at 2025 White House Correspondents' Dinner

The stripped-down festivities Saturday night were a reflection of the somber tone in Washington at the beginning of President Donald Trump’s second term, in which he has battled with the press on multiple fronts and wrested from the correspondents' association the power to decide which outlets have the most access to Trump.

Norman Ornstein was right to criticize the White House Correspondents' Association (who he called an organization of sheep) for cowardly giving an award to a reporter who was tough on Biden. This must have made Trump happy.

I realize that the bootlicking cowards at the White House Correspondents' Association were afraid to give an award to a reporter who was tough on Trump, because Trump would write a mean tweet, or have their tax returns audited.

The White House Correspondents' Association is so afraid of Trump or so opposed to free speech that it canceled the comedian they hired, Amber Ruffin, because she could have told a joke that Trump would not want to hear. #media #cowardice #politics #WHCA

Rita Powell: "I just saw clips from the White House Correspondents' Association dinner last night and I am completely disgusted. I can’t believe how they are congratulating themselves on ushering in a fascist state. We really do deserve better."
