Remember Margaret Sullivan? She is The Washington Post media columnist who wanted to retire the term "fake news" when it boomeranged on liberals after it had been embraced by the mainstream media. Now Sullivan has another crusade in which she wants to cancel something. The White House Correspondents' Association dinner.
Although Sullivan supported The New York Times withdrawing from the dinner several years ago when she was their Public Editor, she did not call for its outright cancellation. It is way more than obvious that her real reason for her sudden urge to cancel the dinner outright is that Donald Trump is now President. And the recognition of that disturbing fact for them is something that Sullivan and her fellow liberal journalists simply can't tolerate at the WHCA dinner.

It serves no purpose. Cancel it.
Every day that passes, the media gives President Trump more reason to cancel this sham of a function. They know it and are just being preemptive. Disingenuous bastards.
They know Trump will tear them to pieces when he speaks ,LOL
Trump as the media’s number, they’re not getting away with anything. I can imagine they want to take their ball and go home now.
FINE By ME
It was nothing but a corruptocrat nerd-prom for the washington elite and their butt kissers.
Who is the host?
Let the media do what they want. If I were Trump, I wouldn’t attend, nor would any of my staff or cabinet members.

It should be cancelled; the sole purpose of it ( besides liking a DEM’s president’s arse and insulting a GOP president ), is to raise money for future “journalists”, scholarships, and such. It has NOTHING at all to do with a president nor the vast majority of Americans.
Winning!
Sounds good to me.
Whiny crybabies.
Do the damn dinner. Bake your frigging cake.
We win some these even when we are not even trying. Please cancel it.
I bet saves some money for the WH budget.
I think they should cancel it. I find it a disgusting self celebration for a bunch of under achieving pseudo intellectuals. I feel the same about the Grammy’s, Tony’s, Oscar’s, Globe etc.
Why she thinks this is some kind of planting a flag on San Juan Hill is beyond me.
One less opportunity for celebrities and the media to attack our democratically-elected president.
Who cares? It’s like the Oscars-—people patting themselves on the back and grandstanding. Just a bunch of insiders cracking jokes.
Go ahead and cancel it. No one outside of D.C. will care.

Exactly! Please see my previous post.
They also “threatened” to cancel the Oscars. Don’t throw me in that briar patch!
I agree!
