Veteran Journalist Warns About ‘Most Dangerous’ Reporters Ahead Of White House Correspondents’ Dinner

Annual White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner: A Night of Hypocrisy and Danger

It’s that time of the year again! The Beltway media crowd is gearing up for the annual White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner on Saturday night, and this year, both President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will be in attendance. While most in attendance view themselves as the cornerstone of Democracy, one veteran journalist is offering advice to his colleagues while cautioning Americans to watch out for what he dubs the “most dangerous” kind of reporter.

The Most Dangerous Kind of Reporter

James Rosen, a Newsmax White House reporter, took to Twitter to warn about the dangers of reporters who believe themselves to be innately without bias and fearless pursuers of The Truth. According to Rosen, these reporters are often the most biased and dangerous. While he praised many of his fellow press pool participants for doing actual journalism, he cautioned the White House for their contempt of journalism. Rosen seems to be one of the few members of the press who acknowledges that Biden and his lackeys treat the press with utter disdain.

“The current White House disrespects the press corps in ways large and small on a daily basis, and tonight we will hear POTUS serve up syrupy platitudes about his respect for us and the critical role we play in American democracy,” Rosen tweeted. “It will be difficult to take. At least, Trump, his own contempt for the press notwithstanding, stayed away from the dinner and spared us the hypocrisy.”

Advice for the White House Correspondents Association President

Rosen also had some advice for the current White House Correspondents Association president, Tamara Keith of NPR. In that role, she’ll give an address Saturday night at the dinner in Washington, D.C. According to Rosen, Keith can make the usual jokes and nods to a blend of cordiality and adversarialism, the safe route—or she can use this moment to remind this POTUS of his historic avoidance of the White House press corps and other damaging practices towards honest journalism.

Well, to be blunt, Rosen’s caution about lapdog media who simply regurgitate Democratic talking points is refreshing. But from an outsider’s perspective, that comprises roughly 90% of corporate media. As for whether NPR’s Keith holds Biden accountable Saturday night, NPR’s coverage of the presidency doesn’t lend one to believe that will be the case. But, here’s to hoping.
