    Thanks for sharing!

    Pretty bare bones article on Gaza and journalists killed though, it talks more on the owner class event and awards…

    Found anther article: https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2024-04-27/chants-of-shame-on-you-greet-guests-at-white-house-correspondents-dinner-shadowed-by-war-in-gaza

    For some attendees, the protests on the way in may have been the only time they heard about those journalists killed in Gaza — unless they were listening very closely. The slain journalists in Gaza were mentioned one time on stage, according to transcripts of the event, when NBC News Senior White House Correspondent Kelly O’Donnell said, “Since October, about 100 journalists have been killed, most of those deaths in Gaza, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.”

    That was it.

    President Joe Biden, who has steadfastly supported Israel’s war, did at one point acknowledge the dangers journalists face.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Since Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack, Israel has laid siege to Gaza, killing 34,000, displacing millions, and leaving the population at imminent risk of famine.

    President Joe Biden, who has steadfastly supported Israel’s war, did at one point acknowledge the dangers journalists face.

    “You literally risk your lives doing [the] job you do, covering everything from natural disasters, to pandemics, to wars, and so much more,” Biden said.

    “Barak Ravid’s reporting displayed deep, almost intimate levels of sourcing in the U.S. and abroad that produced stories closely aligned to the events that subsequently transpired,” the association wrote.

    An award for excellence in presidential news coverage under deadline pressure went to New York Times Chief White House Correspondent Peter Baker.

    The association wrote that his “coverage of President Joe Biden’s visit to Israel just days after the Oct. 7 attacks, filed on deadline from Tel Aviv, combined a comprehensive recounting of that whirlwind trip with expert, reporting-driven analysis of the president’s messaging and priorities at a fraught global moment.”


    The original article contains 600 words, the summary contains 167 words. Saved 72%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

    It wasn’t mentioned because the WH is complicit in their murders. The US is trying to cover up, like they always have, Zionist crimes as much as Zionists are.
