Usually the correspondent of the White House Association Dinner Hollywood Stars, a comedy set filled with Zinger and a public exhibition between the white house and the press corps that covers it.

The dinner had no comedian and no president on Saturday. Among the hint of celebrities, Michael Chiklis, whose best -known television role in “The Shield”, was completed in 2008.

“It is only we,” said Eugene Daniels, President of the Association and MSNBC host, to his journalists at the beginning of the night.

The reporters, who spoke from the podium, emphasized the importance of the first amendment and collected repeated ovations from the Schwarz-Tie amount. Lightness came in the form of clips from previous years when the presidents still appeared and cleverly over the press and cracked themselves.

Handwriting about dinner, as soon as the top of the social calendar in the capital, is just as a tradition in Washington as the parties sponsored by companies that surround it. As media institutions with a rush from President Trump, who sued and threatened television stations, the Associated Press reduces from presidential events and the daily work of the Press Corps of the White House banned-was particularly banned by the concept of a celebration carried out of alcohol.

“The mood and the reality is shit,” said Jim Vandehei, the journalist and news leader, who contributed to the creation of politico and then at Axios, two Beltway media staled.

“No president, no comedian who makes fun of all of us, TV networks under state pressure, a top producer who quit corporate disorders and that the public in the fields of media and government,” said Vanseheii. “Enjoy the weekend!”

It is true that in the last few days the head of “60 minutes” as a CBS owner was regarded as a multimillion dollar payment for the settlement of a lawsuit submitted by President Trump, and the committee for the protection of journalists, a non-profit organization, the reporters who live under Autocrats, issued a security system for journalists for the United States. And on Friday afternoon, hours before the first wave of the weekend parties, the Ministry of Justice announced that it would force the telephone records of the reporters to be relevant and their certificate during leak examinations.

Perhaps journalists could use a moment or two to relax.

“Our customers are working hard to report today's Nonstop news cycle, and once a year we organize a big weekend with parties to honor them for their work,” said Rachel Adler, Head of the New Artist Agency, the television journalists such as Andrea Mitchell and Audie Cornish and the co-moderator of a Jampacked Soiree on Friday in a private Georging was. “Why should this year be different?”

Tammy Haddad, an impresario in Washington, whose annual garden party was unabated and well attended on Saturday, said that the weekend is still an opportunity for the community for all tensions about access and independence and independence. “Some have decided to stay away, but there is the opportunity to establish new connections and find common ground,” she said.

Nevertheless, dinner of the correspondents wore a more serious tenor themselves than in previous years. Some of the loudest applause for journalists at the AP, which was involved in a legal dispute with the administration after Mr. Trump tried to restrict access to his reporters because he had used the term “Golf of Mexico” in his reporting.

Mr. Daniels promised the support for the AP and also for Voice of America, another outlet that was the goal of Mr. Trump's contempt. Without an entertainer for the evening, Mr. Daniels served as the main speaker and demanded journalistic solidarity.

“What we are not is the opposition,” he said. “What we are not is the enemy of the people. And what we are not is the enemy of the state.” He called journalists “competitive and intrusive”, but also “human” and noticed the efforts that reporters companies take to ensure precise information to reach the public.

In interviews, TOP journalists said several news agencies that it was almost impossible to convince celebrities and legislators to attend guests. A reporter said that the list of people who had rejected invitations was in the “dozens”.

This is a dinner in which George Clooney and Steven Spielberg were once put on. On Saturday it seemed Jason Isaacs, the Englishman, the Englishman who played the father in the latest edition of “The White Lotus” and whose character fantasized the season about murder self-murder, the father who played the father.

Mark Leibovich, a correspondent of the Atlantic, said that he found it refreshingly to concentrate one more evening on the act of reporting than on the speech of a comedian.

Nevertheless, he added: “I wish we could have used the time that we won from leaving every hour earlier.”

The correspondent association represents hundreds of journalists who regularly cover the functioning of the White House. His autonomy was repeatedly undermined by the Trump government, which broke through the precedent that gives the precedent that gives access to the “pool”, which covers smaller presidential events, and signaled the plans for upgrading the seat table in the press room by James S. Brady. (The correspondent association has been supervising the pool and the seating plate for decades.)

In February, the group announced that a comedian, Amber Ruffin, the actress and talk show presenter, would be the presented entertainer of the dinner. Ms. Ruffin's appearance was canceled last month. She had appeared in a podcast in which she described the Trump government as the “kind of murderer”.

Mr. Daniels said he wanted to “make sure that the focus is not on the policy of the division.”

Ms. Ruffin has mocked the group since then

In recent years, the Press spokesman for the White House – including in 2018, took dinner during Mr. Trump's first term and was sitting on the podium. Karoline Leavitt, Mr. Trump's current press spokeswoman, said she rejected an invitation.

On Friday, Ms. Leavitt was asked to describe the news media in one word during an interview with Axios reporter Mike.

“Exhausted,” she said with a smile.
