CNN'ers didn't have to gate crash the White House State Dinner for Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. Two on the invited guests were Dr. Sanjay Gupta and Fareed Zakaria, both were accompanied by their wives. Here are pictures of them arriving at the very elaborate event.
Sanjay tweeted some pictures of the event including pictures of the menu and program.
He also tweeted a photo of himself with Steven Spelberg (notice NBC's Brian Williams in the background)and his co-worker at CBS, Katie Couric.
And his last tweet was from inside the dinner tent.
On AC360 that night Tom Foreman shared a video of the event, and a few laughs, with substitute anchor Erica Hill.
CNN should have shown Fareed Zakaria and his wife as many times as they showed the "party crashers" over and over and over. They gave them the platform and exposure they craved and the VIP's like Sanjay Gupta and his lovely wife were hardly shown at all. Shame on them. This is a perfect example of why viewership has fallen and with it, complete lack of respect for this cable news network.
ReplyDeleteNice of Sanjay to show us all what the invitation and menu looks like. How impressive. Good for him!
