The White House Correspondents Association (WHCA) has hosted the dinner (since the 1920s) as a pleasant stress relieving event between the press and political class they cover. We have all watched as the broadcast news media has fallen from something edifying and generally well-crafted into third rate infotainment, and finally baldfaced propaganda of either political party. So as yet another signpost of the lost days of promulgating independent thoughtful opinion, president Obama, at the next WHCA dinner will be addressing those voices of journalistic excellence: Kim Kardashian and Lindsay Lohan ...invited by the Fox network, of course.
May God have mercy upon us all.
