USAT | Editor and a president walk into a bar . . .

Reuters moved this photo and the following caption last night: President Barack Obama chats with USA Today Editor John Hillkirk as first lady Michelle Obama listens to Saturday Night Live's entertainer Seth Meyers at the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner in Washington.

  2. I hope Obama didn't ask Hillkirk a question that involved making a decision. They'd still be there.

  6. The/most/accomplished journalists in the world? Please. You may have fifty competent ones there. The rest of the 3000? Not journalists.

  7. Wake up and smell the new decade. The real journalists are Al Jazeera, NPR, PBS and our friends across the pond, the London Guardian.
