'Daring' Register reporter gets recognition from Trevor Noah at White ... (desmoinesregister.com)

Trevor Noah made an apparent reference to Des Moines Register reporter Andrea Sahouri during the White House Correspondents' dinner.

While awaiting transport, she continued to report, somehow managing to get her cell phone out of her pocket and livestream an account of her arrest, saying, "I'm just doing my job as a journalist." It was an apparent reference to Andrea Sahouri, a Register staff writer. Most of Noah's comments were satirical, but he waxed serious for a few moments when he saluted journalists as the proverbial Fourth Estate — "an additional check and balance that holds power to account and gives a voice to those who otherwise wouldn't have one."

Calling the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's son, Hamza Shehbaz a "fake chief minister", Punjab Governor Omer Cheema on Sunday said that his official residence was "captured" on Saturday to hold Shehbaz's oath-taking ceremony. In a section of his address, he spoke of the Ukraine war as he insisted that it was a “blessing” for the fourth estate in the United States to speak truth to power. On social media, the “Ghost of Kyiv” was a military hero, an ace fighter pilot hailed for supposedly shooting down multiple Russian planes. Former US President Donald Trump says that the incompetence of the current administration in Washington could lead to an escalation of the Ukraine crisis. You guys spent the last two years telling everyone the importance of wearing masks and avoiding indoor events. “In America, you have the right to speak the truth and seek the truth…

… It is what the detectives do, they are going through the timeline and that last day is the most crucial day of that person’s life.” Second, is all the people on ‘Dateline’ that you don’t see, the people behind the camera, the camera crews, the producers, the associate producers, and our executives who essentially function as our editors.” No one has ever had the kind of audience that he has and has preached the kind of racism he preaches. Deitsch wrote, “The thinking at Fox Sports, via network sources, is that they don’t view Meyer’s failure at the NFL level as an impediment to his returning to Fox. They know that the hire will be pilloried on social media.” Carlson, who declined to be interviewed for the Times series, told Axios’ Mike Allen that he “of course won’t” read the Times series. If Russian journalists who are losing their livelihoods and their freedom for daring to report on what their own government is doing — if they had the freedom to write any words, to show any stories, or to ask any questions, if they had basically what you have, would they be using it in the same that you do? We’re also proud of our ongoing original reporting at a time when most in the media amplify only one point of view.” In America, you have the right to seek the truth and speak the truth even if it makes people in power uncomfortable. “Every single one of you, whether you like it or not, is a bastion of democracy,” Noah said. - “What I like about Ron DeSantis is if Trump was the original Terminator, DeSantis is like the T-1000. You’re smarter than him. “The Daily Show” host Trevor Noah crushed it as host of Saturday night’s White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. What if I make a really mean joke about Kellyanne Conway and her husband rushes up on the stage and thanks me?”

It voted in 2016, it rampaged in the Capitol in 2021, it formed the basis of myriad new election restrictions in 2022, and it may well steal the election in 2024. The Washington Post may have devoted great resources to the tick tock of Jan. 6, but you can only really write—and get readers to click on—so many pieces about the independent state legislature doctrine, even if we do try and try and try and try. It was, however, also fundamentally the same analysis professor Richard Hasen has been offering for more than a year, that pro- democracy organizations have been reporting on consistently with alarm, that academics have been on fire over for years, and that has been the subject of innumerable open letters as scholars have warned repeatedly about what’s been taking place at every level of voting rights. It is the problem of an entire machinery of news-gathering and news dissemination that lacks that necessary degree of ethical or political seriousness. Of course, American journalists are more readily able to write words and ask questions, but it is also manifestly true that U.S. journalists are far less free today than people like to believe we are. And while Noah and his colleagues in the ballroom have quite creditably reported on that fact—on election suppression, and entrenched minority rule, and speech restraints, and the events of Jan. 6, 2021, and the continuing consequences of the lack of accountability for those things—the truth is that none of that news is terribly sticky or new or exciting as a story.
