Journalists heading into the Washington Hilton for the annual White House correspondents' dinner had to first pass through a gauntlet of protesters.
Demonstrators protest the Israel -Hamas war as a guest, left, arrives at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner at the Washington Hilton, Saturday April 27, 2024, in Washington.
Chants accused U.S. journalists of undercovering the war and misrepresenting it. "Western media we see you, and all the horrors that you hide," crowds chanted at one point. Biden's speech before an expected crowd of nearly 3,000 people was being followed by entertainer Colin Jost from "Saturday Night Live."
Protest organizers said they wanted to bring attention to the high numbers of Palestinian and other Arab journalists killed by Israel's military since the war began in October.
