This year's White House Correspondents' Association dinner is expected to lack the humor typically associated with the event, sparking criticism as it mirrors the current struggle of legacy media against Donald Trump's divisive tactics. Joe Biden's attempts to restore norms are overshadowed by Trump's refusal to engage with the press, branding it as the enemy. The WHCA's decision to disinvite comedian Amber Ruffin, following her critical comments about Trump's administration, has stirred controversy, with many seeing it as a capitulation by the media under pressure.
The WHCA dinner has become a somber reflection of the struggles of legacy media to effectively counter Donald Trump's divisive tactics and the rise of right-wing media.
Eugene Daniels emphasized the need for the WHCA event to focus on awarding journalists' work rather than on divisive politics. This year, humor is notably absent.
