The media got to celebrate itself, as the media loves to do, at Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner, but this past week was the kind of nightmare journalists have been having since Nov. 8, 2016. The president they despise was having a huge week filled with his massive political victories and PR success. Then he got a full dose of “dragon energy” from rap star Kanye West.
Meanwhile, liberal icon Joy Reid was under attack from other liberals for reported homophobic statements made in years past, which she then lamely claimed were part of a hacking plot.
Over at her sister network NBC, famous former anchor and current Special Correspondent Tom Brokaw became the latest #MeToo target when he was accused of sexual misconduct by former NBC journalist Linda Vester.
Brokaw emphatically denied Vester’s claims, writing to NBC colleagues: “I was ambushed and then perp walked across the pages of The Washington Post and Variety as an avatar of male misogyny, taken to the guillotine and stripped of any honor and achievement I had earned in more than a half century of journalism and citizenship.”
In addition, more than 60 women who worked with Brokaw at NBC signed a letter of support backing the 78-year-old, saying that “he has treated each of us with fairness and respect. He has given each of us opportunities for advancement and championed our successes throughout our careers.”
The political events were even more incredible. North and South Korea agreed to a “common goal” of denuclearization. CNN led with “North and South Korea vow to formally end Korean War.” This follows President Trump’s aggressive carrot-and-stick diplomacy with North Korea. Unlike his predecessor, it appears Trump may actually deserve a Nobel Peace Prize.
There was more good news. Mike Pompeo was approved as new secretary

Never forget these SOB's!!
"The White House Correspondents Dinner was supposed to be a celebration of the First Amendment but it quickly devolved into an X-rated, anti-Trump smut fest."
"The nation watched as preening journalists - decked out in tuxedos and sparkly gowns - guzzled copious amounts of wine and guffawed as a second-rate comedian spewed p-words and f-bombs and all sorts of vulgarities."
Are there any STATS of how many people were tuned in to the Correspondence Dinner vs, those who were watching live the Trump event in Michigan. Curious minds want to know.
Hey Tom Brokaw!
You said: “I was ambushed and then perp walked across the pages of The Washington Post and Variety as an avatar of male misogyny, taken to the guillotine and stripped of any honor and achievement I had earned in more than a half century of journalism and citizenship.”
Many men have been treated this way for decades. In fact, any man is subject to being accused of anything by any woman, and is automatically declared guilty. Liberals have gotten away with actually harassing women for years, and bill clinton has still escaped blame for his actions. But now, some liberals are getting the same treatment, and they don’t like it one bit! Tough! No sympathy. You didn’t stand up for the men who were falsely accused, and now you’re getting it.
says a lot about Obama’s lack of character, and Bush’s for that matter to not weigh on on Adm. Jacksons situation......
Trump should keep his foot on Tester’s throat.....its a winning issue. he should send the secret service to interview him.
“I was taken to the guillotine and stripped of any honor and achievement I had earned in more than a half century of journalism and citizenship.”
Winning! The liberal media is the enemy of the US Constitution and of free people.
JoMa
TO Tom Lockjaw....you have enabled the culture that created this Red Terror, and like Robespierre, before you, you met the same fate as he did.
Great article, Bill!
I do believe it is so.
Something is in the air, and it is confidence. They’ve shot their wad, and what have they got? Nothin!
They really made asses out of themselves in front of the whole Nation.
