‘Evil Spirits of the Modern Day Press’ wrote Harper’s Weekly 1888 – How History Repeats

White House Correspondents’ Dinner host and Daily Show star Hasan Minhaj delivered a blistering criticism of Donald Trump Saturday night at the Washington D. C. gala, attacking the president for not showing up to the annual event that is supposed to celebrate free speech and a free press, but turns out to just be a self-congratulating club to pat themselves on the back.
While the dinner is typically supposed to roast the President, Trump knew the media would use the event to just be more nasty and Hasan Minhaj did as expected. It is one thing to roast someone, and another completely to attack policy making it just a leftist argument because your voted for the other team.
