At the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, classless President Joe Biden takes a dig at Tucker Carlson losing his job at Fox News.
“The truth is, we really have a record to be proud of… ‘vaccinating’ the nation… But the job isn’t over… I mean, it’s over for Tucker Carlson”

“The truth is, we really have a record to be proud of,” he lied. “Vaccinate the nation, transform the economy, score historic victories in mid-term results…”
“But the work is not over,” he continued. “I mean, it’s over for Tucker Carlson.”
The crowd groaned in demonstrable shock at the cheap shot.
“What are you wooing about?” Biden said. “Don’t you think that was reasonable? Give me a break.”
Carlson, one of the few critics of the Biden regime on prime-time television, frequently highlighted the White House’s attacks on press freedom.
But tonight, the press corps dutifully applauded a president whose regime has attacked independent journalists, colluded with Big Tech to suppress accurate reporting on topics ranging from Hunter Biden to Covid , through the US proxy war in Europe, and whose campaign and presidency became involved in election interference. .
Instead of booing the president’s joke about a reporter who actually spoke “truth to power,” the press applauded like sycophantic sheep. shameful
The White House press was also laughed at for its absurd double standards covering Donald Trump and Joe Biden.
Donald Trump was raided by the FBI over classified documents safely stored at Mar-a-Lago, while Joe Biden laughs at our “media” about his decades of careless embezzlement.

Non-presidential Biden took several jabs at several Republicans, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.), Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (Calif.) in his rambling speech and confused
Biden claims Marjorie Taylor Greene is the one who is “disoriented and confused.”

And to end the evening, the White House Correspondents’ Association gave an award to Matt Viser of the Washington Post for writing an animation of Joe Biden, one of the most disastrous presidents in recent American history.
This is a 2024 campaign ad. That’s all. Look at them all. https://t.co/BbaztdrdH5

Viser received the award for how he “captured the spirit of Joe Biden, particularly with stories about the president’s brother and how his Catholic faith influenced his strategic vision for the office.”
Nothing about Biden family corruption. Or their war of unconstitutional powers. Or his presidency is compromised by China. Or his botched withdrawal from the Afghan war. Or the failures of its policy response to Covid, including baseless mandates. Or their border crisis leading to human trafficking and the exacerbation of the fentanyl epidemic.
Instead, the WHCA gave an award to a “journalist” who lambasted a decrepit, half-witted, failed, compromised, failed president whose policies fuel crises while arming the US government against the his political enemies.
Imagine if the WHCA had given an award to a Trump acolyte during the former president’s time in office. You can not. Because this would also raise journalistic questions and cast doubt on whether the press has been captured.
There is no need to question this assumption that the White House press corps has been co-opted by the Democratic Party. Because that was shown beyond a shadow of a doubt at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner last night.
