0:00.0	Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at New East.
0:12.0	Hey everyone, I'm Megan Kelly. Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show and happy Monday. The White House Correspondence Association is reversing course, deciding that we are now in such a,
0:22.8	quote, consequential moment for journalism, that they will be canceling their scheduled comedian for
0:30.3	their big gala in late April and focusing only on honoring the very important work our corporate media does every day to fight
0:39.4	for democracy or something like that. They really want to honor the White House reporters
0:45.1	who gave it all, left it all on the playing field this year. You know how like they covered the
0:50.8	Biden mental infirmity so closely and explosively and blew the lid right. Oh, wait,
0:58.1	no, that never happened. Will that award be given in April for all the people who completely
1:04.2	blew it? And instead of exposing that, ran cover for him? Because yeah, that happened over the past
1:10.4	12 months since their last big

1:34.2	when it was relevant and kind of cool, I hate to tell the people going, those days are over.
1:40.4	You're now sort of saying yes to what's become a loser party where they can only get the dregs.
1:46.6	And I urge anybody with, you know, ego and self-respect to say no, no, I'm not going to that.
1:55.8	And speaking of corporate media, I went over to the New York Times earlier this month. I mean the actual
2:02.8	New York Times building, the belly of the beast, and sat down for two hours for their, quote,
2:10.5	the interview podcast. This is part of the biggest podcast in America called The Daily, which the New York Times drops Monday
2:19.3	through Friday. And then on Saturday, they drop, quote, the interview podcast with millions
2:25.5	of downloads per episode. And I have some thoughts and some behind the scenes moments for you on
