Confirmation of the ties that bind the White House to the corporate media.

March 30-April 1, 2007 -- This editor is never found anywhere near the annual Radio and Television Correspondents Association dinner, held Wednesday night at Washington's "Hinckley Hilton," or the White House Correspondents Association dinner. These are yearly fetes where supposed independent members of the Fourth Estate drink, eat, and swap jokes with members of the administration. Socializing with such rogues and cheats clouds the judgment of journalists who are supposed to be looking out for the public's interest. Karl Rove's rap dancing in concert with the NBC News White House correspondent is a case in point. Seeing this blatant display of frivolity between the indictable Rove and a member of the mainstream media is a confirmation of the ties that bind the White House to the corporate media.
