I am going to quote this in full because it is worth reading - from Don Surber's Blog:
The gratitude of reporters
The Associated Press did not mention it. Neither did The Hill, nor the Palm Beach Daily News, nor the Washington Times, nor CBS, nor CNN, nor Newsweek.
The only outlet I could find that reported that President Trump provided a Thanksgiving dinner for reporters at Mar-a-Lago was Breitbart. Even Fox News did not mention the generosity.
President Trump offered a kindness to a people who have been unfair, unseemly, and often incorrect in their mean-spirited effort to oust him from the presidency.
The annual dinner for White House reporters has turned into virulent attacks on a president they hate. A media that was silent when Obama wiretapped and subpoenaed some of them sued President Trump for taking away a press privilege from a CNN employee who refused to follow the unwritten rules of a press conference.
The rules are in writing now. Good luck.
Days later, the president shared his Thanksgiving bounty with them.
The Hill reported, "As reporters were briefly brought into the ballroom, a man performed 'Music of the Night' from the musical 'Phantom at the Opera' at the president's request."
So he shared the entertainment with them as well.
The Hill reported, "The menu for the dinner was a lengthy one and included a full salad bar and a chilled seafood display with crab, oysters, jumbo shrimp and clams.
"There was also a carving station with turkey, beef tenderloin, lamb and salmon, while the entrees for the dinner were Chilean sea bass, red snapper and ribs. Whipped potatoes, sweet potatoes, vegetables and stuffing were among the sides."
This is what wealthy people eat, although President Trump also eats Big Macs, KFC and of coure, the best Taco Bowls in the world.
I am pretty sure this was what reporters ate at their own table in an adjoining room.
Their assignment meant they were away from home for the holidays. President Trump took care of them. This is their gratitude.
The president offered a cease-fire. The reporters ignored it. Sad.
That is very telling - they all reported on how the Trumps celebrated their Thanksgiving dinner but they failed to mention that they were included in the celebration and although they were in a seperate room, they ate from the same sumptious menu and were greeted by POTUS and FLOTUS. I guess they didn't want to be seen as being friendly with the Trumps. Might hurt business.
