The White House Correspondent's Dinner was Saturday night. "Nerd prom"--as it's affectionately referred to by geeks, dweebs, and losers--is a lot like the Oscars, only more insufferable. Instead of celebrities giving themselves reach-arounds, it's journalismers, journalismers who party with the elected officials they are supposed to be holding accountable. It used to be a single dinner where they raised money for a scholarship. It's turned into a week-long event where politicians (mostly Democrats) party with the two groups who haven't turned on them yet: celebrities and the corporate media. The relationship has become so gross that even Christine Pelosi is calling it out.
Yes. Nancy Pelosi's daughter.
"A 'NerdProm Week' of corporate media feting the politicos they cover with celebrities and booze rather than a simple @whca awards dinner celebrating the first amendment is a bigger threat to our Democracy than Elon Musk buying Twitter."
I'm sure I don't know what she's talking about...
Ok, there it is.
To unintentionally prove her point, Axios listed NINETEEN different events over a course of a four-day period, including events hosted by NBC News, CNN, Politico, Paramount, and VICE. No parties thrown by Fox News.
There is a chance Pelosi is being sarcastic and I'm missing it. Maybe she wanted to draw attention to her mom doing a more serious thing by visiting Ukraine. Or, maybe, the corporate media meltdowns over an African-American entrepreneur buying a company are a bit much even for Christine Pelosi.
On one hand, you have Musk, who wants more speech not less. And on the other hand, you have corporate media and Democrats--two groups who use scare quotes around "free speech"--doing keg stands together and expecting the American people to believe one group covers the other group honestly.
There is a reason Joe Biden called the media the one group with a lower approval rating than him. It's one of the few things Biden has said that's true.
