Why was Amber Ruffin fired from the WHCA dinner?
The White House Correspondents Association is reversing course, deciding that we are now in such a, quote, consequential moment for journalism that they will be canceling their scheduled comedian for their big gala in late April and focusing only on honoring the very important work our corporate media does every day to fight for democracy or something like that. They really want to honor the White House reporters who gave it all, left it all on the playing field this year. You know how they covered the Biden mental infirmity so closely and explosively and blew the lid, right? Oh, wait, no, that never happened. Will that award be given in April for all the people who completely blew it and instead of exposing that, ran cover for him?
Cuz yeah, that happened over the past 12 months since their last big gala. Or are we just gonna honor the reporters who are taking a dump on Donald Trump every day? I can't wait to find out. I was invited to this shindig, and as I have for every year over the past 10, I declined to go. I'm not going to this. When I was a very young reporter, I found this exciting before I understood what was what in Washington and back, frankly, when it was relevant and kind of cool. I hate to tell the people going, those days are over. You're now sort of saying yes to what's become a loser party where they can only get the dregs. And I urge anybody with ego and self-respect to say, no, no, I'm not going to that.
And speaking of corporate media, I went over to the New York Times earlier this month. I mean, the actual New York Times building, the belly of the beast, and sat down for two hours for their, quote, the interview podcast. This is part of the biggest podcast. podcast in America called The Daily, which the New York Times drops Monday through Friday. And then on Saturday, they drop, quote, the interview podcast with millions of downloads per episode. And I have some thoughts and some behind the scenes moments for you on what happened, how it came out and why I did it. So let's get into it. Joining me now, the EJs, Emily Jaschinski, DC correspondent for Unheard and host of Undercurrents, and Eliana Johnson, editor-in-chief of the Washington Free Beacon and co-host of the Ink Stained Wretches podcast. Did you know scammers can literally steal your home right out from under you? The FBI calls it house stealing and it's a growing real estate scam.

So why I went over to the New York times, they, they gave me this invitation and I talked with Steve Krakauer, my executive producer about it quite a bit. And Abby's funny.
