By now many of us here in America have seen clips of the White House Correspondents Dinner/ Gala as well as posts from concerned Citizens on 'face-book' and more broadly various platforms of the Internet . That was last Friday Night . I waited until Monday because I wanted to hear from Nicole Wallace and get her assessment before I wrote anything . She did NOT Disappoint, and she did, in fact, devote a substantial part of her first hour in Discussion of trump's "remarks" and "jokes" . Still........... I had to "sleep on it", which I did, and when I got downstairs and entered my 'Cave' I was certain I had something of value to write ~~~~~~~~~~ but I got stalled { }.
Wallace asked the most poignant Question, "Why don't the reporters and correspondents defend one another when trump attacks them so viciously ?" On the Street : Why don't they 'stand-up' for each other ??? But it was her guest Mark Elias who asked the BURNING Question, "Why have the event AT ALL ?????
You'd think that under the present circumstances {and here >circumstances< is being blindly GENEROUS} that the Journalism sub-culture would CANCEL their Celebration of the First Amendment because trump, a KILLER of "Free Speech" and PROPONENT of "Book Banning" managed to INVITE HIMSELF to the Event, a something you'd figure to be UNACCEPTABLE to that sub-culture . But no, you'd have to think again .
