All those years of “nerdprom” vanity, and the WHCA appears to have evaporated without a fight.
the contrast between the journalists at 60 minutes who are risking their careers for their independence and the white house correspondents chuckling at nerdprom about how they helped trump get elected is pretty jarring and infuriating
"Our parent company, Paramount, is trying to complete a merger. The Trump administration must approve it. Paramount began to supervise our content in new ways"
And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes.
We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

I will NOT be watching the #WHCD tonight!!! No comedic act?!? I'm out!
But what I WILL do is post this awesome picture of @maddow.msnbc.com & @anamariecox.bsky.social together at the MSNBC party after the WHCD many years back. It's the best #nerdprom picture ever. #maddow

Calling it nerdprom is inaccurate. Nerds are great. The folks there aren't nerds, they're mediocre tryhards.
WHCD at this point should just be Cillizza at Chipotle

I'm sorry ... why are any journalists attending this Trump bitchy magic show? Are the media bosses requiring them to sit there in fancy outfits and take it as Trump humiliates them? Nerdprom has officially jumped the shark, fam. BTW last time I went I got COVID. Now it's the 1st Am. that's ill.
It’s very hard to have a civil dinner with a face-eating leopard.
Zero. Sympathy.
They did this to themselves.
Oh, and also? There definitely is an easy answer.

More proof that no real journalists attend the WHCD. #NerdProm
So just to recap, in the last minute CSPAN says it was a false alarm, CNN says the shooter was killed in the lobby, and the pool report says he's in custody, do I have that right?

“nerdprom” shut the fuck up
If members of the press are worried they didn’t give enough coverage to the cognitive decline of a sitting president, they have an amazing opportunity to make up for it right now.

I think the main thing for me about the WHCD is that if you voluntarily attend this particular one, that means you are making a choice to hang out with murderers and pedophiles, and that, quite simply, makes you a bad person.

Oh now we care about “trust” and “deception” from the White House? Where the hell were you from 2017-2021 while Trump and his goons lied like it was a bodily function? Spare me. #WHCD #nerdprom #fucktrump #journalismfail

The pandering WHCD bits on Biden is Old are especially bizarre when Trump is sleeping with his mouth open at the Pope's funeral. Read what's left of the room, #NerdProm.

so is there going to be a WHCA dinner this year, I'm sorry I mean #nerdprom or whatever?
There's a 100 Pultizers on the floor and nobody is picking them up and reporters could be this generation's Woodward and Bernstein, but you're not doing that in search of what exactly?
Loser stuff.

Gosh I wonder when he's going to notice that the *current* president is so demented he's practically drooling?
