The significance of the White House Correspondents Dinner

Over the decades, the annual White House Correspondents Dinner has allowed presidents to go into a more informal setting, let their hair down a bit, and poke fun at themselves. But some critics say the dinner is proof of a cozy relationship between the White House and the media. Mark Strassmann has more.

[@trevorguthrie3054]

Major Septic Media spews (against freedom of expression)

[@inhumanesmoke4342]

These liberal news outlets won't even show the protesters outside but talk about Reagan's assassination attempt

[@derrickwillie4449]

It went about as expected. Most presidents are up there for 30 minutes he was there for 5 minutes squinting to see the teleprompter.

To think the former guy never attended one because he has no sense of humor much less he can’t take a joke on himself. Back with normality with Joe. 🙌

[@melanieparker]

So? He roasted himself on comedy central. Biden's uncle only "roasted" himself in New Guinea. LMAO!

Or because it's pointless

Yeah, it's nice to see the White House Correspondents Dinner, where everything is not all depressing and angry. Sometimes you need a good chuckle in life.

[@trevorguthrie3054]

You voted FOR war and suffering caused by Democrático Socialismo. The media you support warmonger for gibbs. The leftists you enable profit of warmongering and suffering.

[@jadegreen1554]

The WHCD is important because you get to weed out malignant narcissists. They can’t take a joke. NEVER elect a malignant narcissist. The best POTUSes can take a zinger and deliver it back because they’re mentally healthy.
At the very least vote for someone who can take a joke.

[@shanedaley6236]

People with dementia can still tell jokes that doesn't mean Biden is mentally healthy I want to see doctors reports and a scan of his brain to say that

[@ladyd8339]

The meeting of the mindless minds!
