President Biden on the Obligation of the Press & on Democracy
May 1, 2022
Wise (and serious) words from President Biden at the White House Correspondent’s dinner from ~2:57:00 [here]. More relevant now in the midst of all the things around us …
BTW, both Joe Biden and Trevor Noah did very well … very light hearted and satirical … yet, at times dead serious …
On the Obligation of the press :
- To seek the truth as best as you can
- Not to inflame or entertain
- But to illuminate and educate
American Democracy :
- Is not a reality show, but reality itself
On Democracy :
- it is never guaranteed,
- it has to be earned,
- it has to defended,
- it has to be protected …
Times of enormous change presents enormous opportunity !!
