Free Speech Farce at CBS-Hosted White House Correspondents' Dinner

A Rolling Stone opinion piece contends that the CBS/Paramount‑hosted White House Correspondents’ Dinner, marketed as a celebration of the First Amendment, reveals a hypocrisy among so‑called free-speech advocates (including Bari Weiss, David Ellison/CBS, and guests like Pete Hegseth, Stephen Miller, and Brendan Carr) who align with Trump while denouncing media criticism, portraying the event as a partisan display that undermines genuine press freedom rather than upholding it.
