At the White House Correspondents' Dinner — that rare convergence of press and power — an attack shattered the evening's familiar rituals and thrust the journalists present into a role they know well, though rarely from the inside. In the aftermath, CBS News political director Fin Gómez paused not to catalog failures but to bear witness to something quieter: the instinct of reporters, even as targets, to keep reporting. It is a moment that asks old questions about vulnerability and vocation, and about what it means to serve the story when the story has come for you.
