‘Shame on you’: Protesters heckle White House correspondents’ dinner guests

Gaza only got one mention at an annual gathering of hundreds of reporters, after the deadliest year for journalists in a decade. While Biden cracked jokes at the White House correspondents’ dinner, pro-Palestinian protesters made sure it was a different story outside.

this "Journalists" in tux and expensive gowns still act like they speaking for the people and a "free press"

[wafaay]

Shame on all those who attended that meeting !
Talking about journalist rights while sponsoring an apartheid state that has taken the lives of 143 journalists, what a disgusting level of hypocracy !

[bryancoulter]

Black tie, joking, sipping champagne and eating $100 food while we watch children starving to death in Gaza becuse of this man. This is the real America.

Greetings from Ireland .. BDS apartheid Israel .. Free Palestine!

[ericfranklin]

Even though Gaza was mentioned, they did it the same way they do in mainstream outlets, without mentioning why there have been deaths, without mentioning who was responsible and by using the most sterilized language to describe it possible.

They r having expensive dinners while millions r starving in Gaza

Representative democracy isn't democracy. The people have spoken, we don't want your genocide

[Ismail.Abdulalim]

look at the traitors in their fine clothes

[yogibier]

While the nobles dine and entertain themselves and their rich friends, the masses protest at the gates. A striking tale of 2 Americas !

Those corporate press ghouls and their celebrity colleagues should feel so embarrassed walking the gauntlet of protest in their designer clothes. I'm sure they were relieved when they got inside where they could be safely cocooned in the warm embrace of their own kind.

The whole idea of having a party with government people and main stream "journalists", having a good time together, is telling. It is like having your attorney and the judge going to your legal opponent's wedding and raising their glass to the bride and groom.

Solidarity with people of palestine 🇵🇸

[davidladuke]

What does Biden think he's doing? His "awe shucks" grandpa routine is ghoulish in context. And what possible outcome does he think we're heading toward?

[Pearlz]

These ppl enjoying their white house dinner are shameless

[alienfrommarss]

Deleted comment for truth? Its true, Genocide complicate people can enjoy their "wealth", clap for each other all they want, but their hate and corruppted souls will reap what they sow in the end too.

“Grown Man”….. yeah more like propped up with medication and close to meeting his Maker.

[HKS]

Pendant que les bombes américaines sont lancés sur des milliers et milliers de civils palestiniens EUX vont à des dîners mondains... "tout va bien dans ce monde, tout ce qui se passe ailleurs ne nous concerne pas, tant que "nous", nous vivons confortablement" et nous mangeons à notre faim." Voilà le message qui veulent lancer, ces égoïstes...

[txbulldogboxing]

The economy and paying $400 for groceries was one thing but when it comes to growing a pair and standing up to the country that cant exist on its own Joe has failed miserably. Even Regan and Bush Sr knew when to make the tail wag. Not the other way around.

Thank god we have social media for our generation, we can see the truth via video, instead of watching the propaganda from old press media

[baltimana-gotg]

I don’t think I’ve ever felt more contempt towards western journalists than I feel right now. Disgusted.
