@whca.bsky.social Last night was the problem of legacy media in a nutshell. Inviting the enemy of press freedom to your celebration of press freedom. You all see the physical and mental decline of this president, yet you refuse to address it. The dinners in their present form must end.

Have been a member of the @whca.bsky.social almost continuously since the 1990s. Our mission is to defend the First Amendment rights of White House correspondents to report on the president without fear or favor. Unfortunately last night did not advance that cause. Time to rethink the dinner.

(Amanda) I'm a very curious cat. Betty says I'm nosey, but I think curious sounds better. I like to know what's going on. It makes life more intersting, doesn't it? What do you think, am I right?

"I understand journalists want to be neutral. But if you're a journalist in the US, you have an obligation to be biased— in favor of democracy. And Trump is anti-democratic... The longer the press pretends that Trump is not an enemy of their profession, the more runway he has to undermine them."

When Will Legacy Media Finally Learn Who Trump Is?

There were no winners at the reconvened White House Correspondents Dinner

(Maurine) Look how brave I'm getting. Auntie Pip offered me some Dreamies and it would have been rude to refuse. It doesn't mean that I'm ready to be friendly with the humans, but at least it's a start.

News outlets that covered the US-Saudi nuclear deal without mentioning that Jared Kushner, Trump’s top foreign policy advisor, is getting paid by the Saudi government: WSJ NYT AP Reuters CNN NBC ABC CBS The Guardian Semafor Washington Post Fox News New York Post BBC Newsweek MS NOW

A nuclear deal for the Saudis. A media blackout for Kushner’s corruption.

On Wednesday, the Trump administration signed a 30-year nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia that paves the way for the kingdom to enrich its own uranium.

(Amanda) It hasn't rainer here for a long time. Betty gave the Memorial Garden a really good watering yesterday. It's been suffering in the heat and a few plants have not survived. I didn't know that could happen. I thought plants just grew. I've got a lot to learn about gardening haven't I?

(Amanda) These are funny things, aren't they? Betty calls them 'glasses' but I think there are other names for them too. Humans put them on their face and they help them to see things better. I don't understand how that can ahppen but lots of humans use them so it must be true.
