Why are White House journalists partying with Trump? | Margaret Sullivan

Margaret Sullivan questions the appropriateness of White House journalists attending the annual White House correspondents’ dinner with President Trump. She argues that the event, which involves reporters socializing with government officials, has always been a "questionable affair." Sullivan suggests this practice is particularly concerning given the current administration's stance towards the press. The author raises concerns about the "optics" of journalists appearing frivolous and the potential impact on public trust in media, especially when reporters are meant to maintain critical distance from those they cover.
