If you’re at the Correspondents’ Dinner tonight and remain silent about Trump and his enablers, you are neither a journalist nor a patriot. You are an accomplice.

I just informed my partner, who is an award winning journalist, that if we lived in Washington, and he was invited to this dinner, I would absolutely forbid him to go. Thank goodness he's a man of integrity and common sense!

We’ve all seen how the media &mainstream news has normalized his insane & dangerous behavior. They found a new way to screw us. They canceled the comic which has been the custom for decades and hired a mentalist so Trump wouldn’t feel uncomfortable &will give him a new stage to trash the fake news.

I can see the CNN comments about the dinner coming. "See. Isn't he funny. He has real sense of humor. Ha ha ha." I heard dotard isn't even going to be there when the awards are given out.

What do they teach in journalism classes these days? How to suck up? How to cover for one side and exaggerate the other side so everything *looks* even-steven? How to look the other way instead of looking deeper? 'Cuz our "Fourth Estate" seems to be complete garbage at this point.

Easy to be cynical about the profession I worked in for nearly 30 years. I can recall seeing ‘I don’t believe the liberal media’ bumper stickers 45 years ago. Journalism doesn’t exist to play to people’s preconceived biases, but from the looks of it, that’s what news consumers expect nowadays. Sad!
