Iconic Trump Photo, Decried by Journalists as 'Dangerous' Propaganda, Wins Journalism Award

What happened: Associated Press photographer Evan Vucci won a prestigious journalism award this week for his iconic shot of President Donald Trump moments after he was nearly assassinated during a 2024 campaign rally in Butler, Pa. The unforgettable image, featuring Trump surrounded by Secret Service agents, his fist raised in defiance under a crane-mounted American flag as blood trickles down his cheek, was named Photo of the Year on Monday by the White House News Photographers Association.

Journalists in Disarray: WHCA President Eugene Daniels Refuses to Step Down Amid Accusations of Incompetence

Eugene Daniels, the "Kamala Harris expert" and "Beyoncé encyclopedia" who recently quit his job at Politico to join MSNBC as a weekend cohost and on-air personality, is under fire from fellow journalists who are increasingly aggrieved by his floundering leadership as president of the White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA), a role he intends to keep despite his new role at the virulently partisan network.

The Columnist as Moral Compass

A book-length collection of 81 op-eds written over a period of seven years by a single author should not be readable. And in most writers’ hands it wouldn’t be. While Peggy Noonan’s latest book, A Certain Idea of America, fits that description, it is instead a compelling read that brings moral clarity to a tumultuous period of American public life.

Trump Is Right on the White House Correspondents' Association—and Speaker Johnson Should Follow Suit

It’s been a lousy week for the White House Correspondents' Association. President Donald Trump cut the organization off at the knees when he announced on Tuesday that the White House, not the WHCA, would select the members of the presidential press pool, the rotating group of reporters and photographers who cover the president in places like the Oval Office and Air Force One where space is tight. Cue the hysterics.

Journalists Outraged After WaPo Owner Endorses Freedom

Many journalists and other liberal activists freaked out on Wednesday after Jeff Bezos, the Amazon founder and compassionate steward of the failing Washington Post, expressed his support for "personal liberties" and "free markets." The billionaire's remarks came in a bland memo to Post staff announcing changes to the paper's opinion section, as well as the departure of opinion editor David Shipley, who evidently did not share Bezos's view that freedom is good.

Trump Strips Power From Left-Leaning White House Correspondents' Association Led By 'Kamala Harris Expert'

The Trump administration on Tuesday stripped the White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA), whose leader repeated Kamala Harris campaign talking points while covering the 2024 election, of the power to determine which outlets can participate in the White House press pool. The association's leader, Eugene Daniels, Politico correspondent and soon-to-be MSNBC host, is known as a "Kamala Harris expert" who once asked the former vice president whether Donald Trump and J.D. Vance's campaign rhetoric stemmed from "irredeemable racism."

Media Should Investigate Federal Waste Instead Of The People Uncovering It

As usual, the media are missing the target. They should follow the money, not the people uncovering the massive spending racket.

Elon Musk, the African-born immigrant entrepreneur President Donald Trump authorized to rein in spending, vowed on Wednesday to end the federal government's "wasteful expenditure" of nearly $8.5 million last year on premium subscriptions to Politico, the Beltway news blog located many, many floors beneath the Washington Free Beacon.
