- It’s often been mentioned in the press that Mason seems overly nice and pleasant, and at this time, he was hounded by fans and other media to make sure he was strong in these negotiations.
- There was a perception that his pleasant nature would allow Spicer to walk all over him. However, the talks resulted in everything staying the same as it always had, much to everyone’s relief.
- As a result, Mason was called upon to open the 2017 White House Correspondents Dinner and gave a speech emphasizing the need to support the art of journalism.

Jeff Mason, You are a morally bankrupt moron. I hate that I had to go there but if the shoe fits wear it.
Why are you waiting on my comment? FIRST AMENDMENT ASSHOLES!!!
It’s still unbelievable to me how so many, with a liberal mindset, are unable to acknowledge true, hard facts about the things President Trump has done and the things he has not done. The same can be said for Biden.
I laughed when the puff piece said that Reuters “tends to take a conservative view on things”. I laughed a second time when the piece said that the other WH correspondence “reporters” looked up to him after his to-do with Sean Spicer on moving the briefing room which didn’t happen. He (they) held their ground. Those are the type of people that you would like to have in the fox hole with you.(sar)
Overpaid, egotistical, and “look at me” attitude is a bit too much for the rest of us.
Jeff, I’m glad u left your mask on. Never, ever stoop to Trump’s level.
He is the biggest disgrace and embarrassment this country has ever encountered. Don’t get me started about his abundant criminal career !!
Jeff, I hope you are teaching your kids to express the level of disrespect you consistently show. You will never be the quality of person our President is now. Biden will be a major step down. Grow up mentally to match your actual age.

Who does this clown think he is, anyway? He dissed the POTUS; it doesn’t get much lower than that. It’s an OFFICE that deserves respect, regardless of what one might think of the man sitting in it for a time, whether Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump, or Biden (if he makes it that far).
When Trump said you can’t talk “to a President like that” I would have said show me someone that resembles a president
Donald Trump has effectively changed the Supreme Court. His job is now finished. The law of the land prevails. Thank you, Mr. Donald (president)
Trump, It is now time to wrap up the gifts and rejoice in the birth of another babe. Healthy, alive. We all are called for our purpose intended.
Matter of fact you have the ring and finished your job and services for which is your purpose for the last four years. It’s now time to hand that ring to the people’s choice for the next four years. Thank you for your service. Ask not what the government can do for you but what you have done for the people.
God Bless Jeff for allowing Donald to be exposed for what a weakling he is. He doesn’t behave as a servant of the people but a tyrant with a lot of problems. He’s going down in flames to boot.
Jeff, thank you for the integrity you continue to show, especially when dealing with Trump and his enablers. The latest rant of his which happened behind his tiny desk targeted at you for your question just reminds us that very soon, this total jerk will be gone.
Keep up your good work, the majority of us out here appreciate and SUPPORT FREE PRESS.
A real jerk who has no respect for the Presidency.
God bless you Jeff
You respect the OFFICE, that’s the point. real simple – that’s the way it has always been done. you respect the OFFICE, whatever your opinion of the man. PERIOD.
Jeff Mason is an excellent reporter. He also is a classy person, which cannot be said of Donald Trump, he is a bully, who cannot accept he lost this election.
Please, read some of your work as an unbiased teacher might. Give your self a journalism grade.
Don’t disrespect our President…ever!
I think the President does not accept the fact that he works for the people of the united states and is expected, if not obligated to answer questions put to him in the interest of public trust.
I applaud your tenacity at trying to get to the truth and the explanations of his actions and decisions on matters that concern the welfare of this democratic society we love, and for the Americans that have served and sacrificed their lives to protect.
You have more legit credentials than President Bone Spurs will ever have. We are behind you Norm
