Is it Ethical for the White House Correspondents to Enjoy the Holiday Banquet?

Is it Ethical for the White House Correspondents to Enjoy the Holiday Banquet while the Soldiers are at the Front Lines and Hurricane Katrina Victims are without Housing and Food? Who funds these banquets? Is this all at the taxpayers’ burden? Some of these reporters made wrong portrayal of the White House and had harsh comments about the local residents during the emergency of Katrina without ever visiting. This is damaging in that people think only that the White House and the reporters are enjoying hedonism while others are not allowed, all at taxpayers expenses, or the Executive Funding provided by the Congress, as part of the Defense Bill of $445 billion. As a way to appease them, so they think highly of themselves, and perhaps they can bend the administration in their way. Governor Blanco published 1000 pages of information on Hurricane Katrina, and on December 6 the House held hearings on the Hurricane Katrina victims, the conducts and exchanges between White House and certain media, can be studied and scrutinized, to prevent serious scandals. The protesters Cindy Sheehan also can be a party breaker if the banquet gets too outlandish and luxurious, so that she can have the President pay attention to the dead victims and their voices are no less than the White House female correspondents who would not go to locations that many patriotic Americans do. Their only mission is to collect pay checks and pester the President, from airport to hotels, and steal advanced information and as a prerogative, to give their skewed views on any issue. These privileged reporters would go to TV programs to broadcast themselves with vacant expression as there is really not any sensible information other than some vague suggestions of their ambiguous relationship with the White House, which can never be confirmed. If confirmed, both sides will lose; as the Press is not paid by the White House, so they have to remain ‘impartial’ or critical of the President, otherwise the press will lose credibility; meanwhile, the administration cannot favor any one news reporter or news agency, or the other news agencies will protest. If the press has a free rein, they can peel the skins off the administration, like Supreme Court nominee, VP’s office Scooter Libby, President’s substantial aid Rove, press manager Scott McClellan, and then they can roam around freely inside the White House, with freedom to speak against everyone, on every issue. The only party that can keep tab on them is the public and the judicial branch, but the Supreme Court is swamped with cases already.
