Nature of role of work for the White House Correspondents' Association is blatantly mistated

According to one of the more detailed sources cited in the article, Caputo once worked for the Radio and Television Gallery of the White House Correspondents' Association. This article portrays the Association as part of the United States House of Representatives; this is blatantly and demonstrably incorrect.

The Association covers the House of Representatives but is not a part of the institution itself, though the Association's coverage can be seen as partisan rather than neutral.

The article text, in two places, is being corrected to fix the blatantly erroneous original remarks.BLZebubba (talk) 15:31, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Driver for Trump

Yes, this is pretty bad: HHS official trying to muzzle Fauci, Trump officials interfered with CDC reports on Covid-19. "Interfere" is too polite. Reading this reminds me about Glavlit censors. My very best wishes (talk) 05:03, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Carl Zimmer, the New York Times and Discover contributor, compared the Trump Administration to Lysenkoism under Stalin.[1] --Nbauman (talk) 22:05, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

According to 2nd ref, "CDC officials have fought the efforts to retroactively change reports". Retroactively changing records is 1984 classic: if Big Brother makes a prediction that turns out to be wrong, the employees of the Ministry of Truth correct the record to make it accurate. Fortunately, we are not there yet. Therefore, certain politicians now resorted to the doublethink meaning a process of indoctrination whereby the subject is expected to accept as true a statement which is clearly false. Here is an excellent example. My very best wishes (talk) 02:10, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Heritage

Is Caputo of Italian heritage? If so, if he converted to Catholicism late in life, which religion (if any) did his family practice (which he may have grown up practicing)? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 05:22, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
