“I believe in the First Amendment, and not just because my good friend Jimmy Madison wrote it,” joked President Joe Biden on Saturday at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner.
“I had a lot of Ron DeSantis jokes ready, but Mickey Mouse beat the Hell out of me and got there first,” Potus laughed, with Disney brass in the audience at the Washington Hilton. If you missed it, the House of Mouse finally sued the aspiring GOP presidential candidate this week for his attacks on the company and its Walt Disney World resort in Orlando.
Fresh off announcing his reelection campaign and chaos on cable news this week, President Joe Biden had a wealth of material to pull from. And if you thought Potus wasn’t going to mention with glee the axing of Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon from Fox News and CNN, respectively, the Maga hold on the GOP,...

Bill Plante, who spent more than a half-century with CBS News as one of the longest-serving White House broadcast journalists in history, died Wednesday of respiratory failure at his home in Washington, his family announced. He was 84.
Plante reported on the Vietnam War, covered the civil rights movement and all 13 U.S. presidential elections from 1968 to 2016 and anchored the CBS Sunday Night News from 1988-95 before retiring in 2016 after 52 years with the division.
The multiple Emmy winner was a White House correspondent for 35 years during the administrations of Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama. He also covered the State Department while George H.W. Bush was president.
“I have no wasted sympathy on any occupant of the White House,” Plante once said. “They are out to present themselves in the best possible light, and it’s our job to find out,...

Bill Plante, a longtime CBS White House correspondent who spent 52 years with the network in various capacities, died on Wednesday, CBS News announced. He was 88.
According to CBS News, Plante’s family say he died of respiratory failure.
“He was brilliant, as a reporter and as a human being. There wasn’t anything Bill didn’t excel at in our profession: he was a gifted writer, a first-class deadline maker and a breaker of major stories. He’ll be remembered for his reports from the White House lawn, his booming voice that presidents always answered and his kind heart,” 60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl said. Stahl and Plante covered the White House together for a decade, CBS said.

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney has been scrambling to defend President Obama's remarks about the Supreme Court both on TV and through press briefings — to no avail. Carney has been visibly frustrated, but so have those who've been asking the questions. During Thursday's press briefing, CBS reporter Bill Plante voiced that frustration, telling Carney, "You‘re standing up there twisting yourself in knots because he made a mistake, and you can’t admit it."...

Obama's new press secretary doesn't report directly to the president. Lloyd Grove talks to alumni of the office and longtime White House reporters about the limits on Jay Carney's clout.
When Jay Carney takes over from Robert Gibbs as President Obama's chief spokesman this month, it might become a case of "be careful what you wish for" for White House beat reporters.

Carney certainly has friends in the press room-but does he have clout in the West Wing?
Time magazine's former Washington bureau chief, 45, spent two decades as a journalist before joining the administration two years ago as Vice President Biden's communications director, and is expected to be far more responsive to the needs of his erstwhile colleagues than the sometimes flippant Gibbs. The 39-year-old Gibbs, a trusted Obama confidant since the latter's 2004 Senate race,...

CBS' Chief White House Correspondent Bill Plante has a pretty wild idea for a new reality show: get Sarah Palin and Michelle Obama, give 'em both guns and send 'em to twenty paces. Yep, a Mama Grizzy-flotus "shootout." The odd suggestion--which probably won't get a warm reception inside the White House--came at the end of Plante's report this morning on the Palin's criticism of Mrs. Obama's healthy eating initiative, which Palin sees as an effort to tell parents how to raise their children.
