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.

Dear CNN: Yawn.
That’ll show them!
And they say Trump can get Mexico to pay for the wall ;D
They wouldn’t be missed...
Maybe Cuomo could hang out in the ladies room.
Has Trump indicated he will or will not attend?
They’ll probably go. . . but then again President Trump just called CNN the “Clinton News Network” this morning at CPAC so who knows.
One Fake News outlet talking about another Fake NewsNetwork as if it was news we the people cared about.....
Fake Feed and the Clinton News Network are legends in their own minds.
Were they invited?
I thought the President was gonna do away with this because it was a waste of $$. Did I just dream that?
They’re taking their dollies and going home.
OK, mom - if you ground me, there’s NO WAY I’m gonna eat any of that chocolate cake you made for dessert!
“Trump just called CNN the “Clinton News Network” this morning at CPAC”
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! that’s awesome!!
Make up your minds, CNN. First you piss and moan because President Trump doesn’t call on you at press conferences, now you vow to not attend the White House Fake News Repeaters Dinner.
Like anyone is gonna miss them?
Too bad, we won’t be able to spike their drinks.
Who cares what a third rate network decides to do. They need Trump, he doesn’t need them, other than for a nice punching bag.
take yer ball, go home, and pout in the corner- and don’t come back CNN- correspondent dinners are for adults-
Wouldn’t it be fun if, instead of roasting the President at the WHC Dinner, the WH was allowed to roast the Press?
“We haven’t made a decision on it yet,” a CNN spokesperson said.
