Discussion: Larry Wilmore Calls Out Reporters At White Correspondents' Dinner (VIDEO)

He left out more than a few.

Most of the humor at these events is forced and forgettable. Worse, it requires a president to be an entertainer, which is a silly idea.

The whole affair is really a bunch of careerists celebrating themselves: for what?

Oh Larry!, from you lips to God’s ears ā€œMorning Joe is so far up Trump’s ass they bumped into Chris Christieā€ BOOM!!

That was perfecting Obama’s lament and head-shaking at the Media’s dereliction of scrutinizing The Donald…thank you Sir!

Wilmore: Bernie’s so old his first campaign slogan was ā€œFire!ā€

A solid joke, but c’mon, how could he fail to work in ā€œfeel the burn?ā€

Wilmore: I can’t understand why everyone treats Donald Trump with kid gloves…then I realize they’re the only gloves that fit his stupid little baby hands.

Snarf!

I agree and I love how he called out MSNBC for firiing all their black reporters

Speaking of being called out. Jessie Water’s (Gawd, that guy is such a snake) was actually called out in a real fight by another reporter at the event last night.

I almost want to tune into Morning Joe tomorrow just to see Joe’s reaction to that dig. You know he’s got to be seething.

Larry was funny but edgy. Once edgy comics like Mort Sahl appeared regularly on network TV but not since deregulation…Isn’t that odd? One might imagine edgy comics would thrive in a deregulated, alleged ā€˜market’ environment considering how folks enjoy cruelty…
Hate radiated off Wolf like heat from a summer grill.

Both guys were damn good last night. Wilmore did his usual routine, but with more gas. The largely white audience did not like it. Colbert revisited. Transcript worth a look, as I missed a few zingers last night:

If you wanted a real indicator of how inside-baseball this event is, find Willmore’s slam on Wolf Blitzer. They cut to Wolf sitting at a table with… Reince Priebus! Guess CNN is back in favor. :mask:

I must say, quite unexpectedly, MSNBC’s Joy-ann Reid just touch this unmentionable with her guests just this morning. This Week ignored Larry, MTP is delayed in my market for a local marathon but I’ll bet Larry doesn’t make air.

Watters is such a miserable excuse of a human being.
I’m glad Ryan Grim brought up the dated, but not forgotten, Amanda Terkel stalking.
Of course Watters can’t stand it when the tables are turned.

MSNBC should be utterly ashamed for permitting the Morning Ho’s to remain on the air, kissing that POS’ ass every morning. I lost respect for that network that it will never gain back from me.

Wolf Blitzer and Don Lemon are hacks of the worst sort. If they hate you, you must be doing something right.

No one’s commenting on Don Lemon flipping Larry the Finger on camera…
