On Monday's O'Reilly Factor, fill-in host Laura Ingraham said that the White House Correspondents' Dinner was nothing to celebrate.
"What used to be a one night affair has turned into three days of cocktail parties, dinners and brunches," she said. “What are we really celebrating at this point? The fact that they’ve missed or underreported some of the biggest stories of the past 10 years?”
Ingraham criticized the media's closeness to Obama and named story after story that had been misreported or underreported.
"Reporters should be checking government power," she said. "Obama would have been better off too if he was forced to rise to the challenge of an aggressive press. Instead he was insulated by his media fan club until the total ObamaCare meltdown."
“Where were all the questions on ObamaCare before last fall?" she asked. "Why didn’t they push for Sebelius to be replaced early on? And why didn’t they demand answers on the foot-dragging investigation into Benghazi?"
"The fact is for the past six years, most in the press have been in party mode, drunk on its abiding love for the Obamas. But now the country is forced to suffer through the big hangover.”
