Another CNN tantrum, may sit out White House Correspondents’ Dinner

Watching the media, especially CNN throw temper tantrum has to be one of the best things that’s happened since Trump’s election in November. Today’s example of throwing a tantrum when they along with the New York Times, L.A. Times, Politico and other leftist propaganda sites were left out of a Sean Spicer press gaggle makes an otherwise boring Friday, quite funny. Now, the hacks at CNN are mumbling they skip the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

Another CNN tantrum, may sit out White House Correspondents’ Dinner

CNN is considering sitting out of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, according to two people familiar with the matter, as the annual star-studded affair takes on renewed scrutiny from media outlets irked by the White House’s demonization of the press.
CNN is still actively discussing internally whether it will ultimately send staffers to the event, which is scheduled for April 29, according to one of these people.
“We haven’t made a decision on it yet,” a CNN spokesperson said.
In recent years, the dinner traditionally involves presidents trying to rib the press after an A-list comedian — like Larry Wilmore, Seth Meyers, Wanda Sykes, or Stephen Colbert — takes his or her own shots at bigwigs in the room.
The chummy dinner has long been criticized as a bizarre spectacle of media and government coziness. Given President Trump’s aggressive, ongoing battle with the media, some in the press are wondering whether glad-handing with the administration this year is especially inappropriate. Sources at various newsrooms say that Trump’s deleted (then reposted) tweet calling the press the “enemy of the American people” marked a new escalation. At the annual CPAC event Thursday, top White House adviser Steve Bannon repeatedly called the media the “opposition party.” CNN, in particular, has perhaps been the most frequent target of Trump’s “fake news” jab.
