The existence of this dinner makes a mockery of the idea that the press should be adversarial to power. It’s nothing but a bunch of elitists sucking each other off.
It’s a tough game out there. Many of the problems are so severe and harmful that you can’t really joke about them. Biden is technically the power in the room but he’s so old that it’s close to punching down to joke about him. Seemingly, every single political body has been captured by fascists and is riding roughshod over Poe’s Law. Using satire is just giving them new ideas.
