The D.C. Chapter of Free Republic invites all FReepers and lurkers in good standing to join us at our 7th annual freep against liberal bias in the media outside the White House Correspondents Association dinner at the Washington Hilton on Saturday, April 30.
This is your chance to take your complaints and encouragement directly to the media bigwigs (and politicos) in person. Over the years, we've engaged in discussions outside the dinner with the likes of Al Franken, Christopher Hitchens, Matt Drudge, Peggy Noonan, Ann Coulter, Chip Reid, James Carville, Joe Scarborough and many others.
Last year, actress Drew Barrymore filmed us for a documentary she was working on.
Two years ago, the Garofalo Awards we presented outside the dinner were featured on Fox & Friends.
This year, we will be presenting the Faux News Awards to those in the media who ginned up news and scandals with very little or no factual basis. The nomination thread for the awards will be posted shortly.
After the freep, we will continue our tradition of going to the Hilton's bar and watching the dinner on C-SPAN while having dinner and drinks.
When: 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday, April 30, 2005
Where: The southeast corner of the intersection of Connecticut Avenue and T Street, NW, Washington, D.C.
Bring: Signs and banners.
Parking, Transportation: Limited street parking is available. Pay parking garages are available in the Hilton (enter from 19th St.) and on Florida Ave at 20th St. The Dupont Circle Metro Station (Q St. exit) on the Red Line is the closest Metro station (about three blocks.) to the Hilton.
As always, the D.C. Chapter's rules for protesting will be in effect. Briefly, they are: no violence, no profanity, no racism, no provocations, obey the law and treat all law enforcement officers with respect.

Just in case you're in the DC area on 4/30/05 ping!
You need an Al Qaqa (Al kaakaa) award. Remember that?

We would not have all the fun if more of the FR got out to local sites. The country is rich with targets these days.
GO DC FREEPERS AND FRIENDS!

I've heard rumors that Hanoi Jane is an invited guest. Hopefully, some of us old farts will be able to give her the reception she deserves.
DC Chapter FReepers are the BEST!
I will be with you in spirit, and am looking forward to the after-action report and pics.
You guys ROCK!
Most recently, Boston Globe screws up,
Time Magazine screws up,
I wonder which of the MSM will screw up next?
Geez, let me think about this some...
should I believe the reporting from these people who claim superiority because they are trained professionals, respected credentialed journalists, and not just pajama-clad rightwing bloggers and such?
Nah.
