'The Daily Show' host's closing speech at the White House Correspondents' Dinner reminded U.S. journalists they had the 'amazing' right to 'speak the truth.'
The comedian then turned to Biden and asked:"I'm going to be fine, right?"
But Noah returned to the more serious tone of the speech and told journalists in the room:"Ask yourself this question. If Russian journalists who are losing their livelihoods…and their freedom for daring to report on what their own government is doing. "If they had the freedom to write any words, to show any stories or to ask any questions, if they had, basically, what you have, would they be using it in the same way that you do?"keen to share his message to America's reporters.
PoliticusUSA editor-in-chief Sarah Reese Jones said in a tweet, which included the comedian's remarks:"Trevor Noah with an amazingly powerful close reminding journalists in the United States, some of whom seem to take for granted what they have, of how lucky they are to have the freedom to speak truth to power."
