White House Correspondents' Dinner 2026: Bari Weiss, Pete Hegseth, and the Media's Surrender | Breaking the News

The White House Correspondents' Dinner is a conflict of interest wearing a tuxedo — and this year, it's worse. Bari Weiss invited Pete Hegseth. CBS is losing Stephen Colbert and replacing him with Byron Allen. The Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swann Iran war chapter drops — and the sources make themselves look very good. Jared Kushner is negotiating with Iran in Pakistan. Melania's past is about to catch up with her. And someone in the comments coined the term "Epstein visa."

Just another Friday.
