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.

I wish they would not go.
Plenty of honest reporters would gladly take their place at the table.
It isn’t a news organization, so why is it invited?
They can dish it out, but they can’t take it...
Sooo High School.
Is that a defacto confession that their talking heads are entertainers not correspondents?
Where the “honest” reporters?
If an event does not advance the agenda, cancel it.
Wow. As powerful as sanctuary cities illegals skipping the sheriff’s annual dinner.
Why is Trump Not skipping?
What!!!? If CNN doesn’t go then why have it at all?
“CNN is considering sitting out of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner”
They were invited?
Interesting.

CNN #OPPOSITIONPARTY
Why let in the Opposition Party to your dinner? Unless it would be for the pure entertainment factor.
Oh, I heard the White House Correspondents’ Dinner was going to have a Pinata and everyone gets to have a good whack on it and laugh at it. That must be why CNN was invited.
CNN should take the hint and not accept. CNN should take the hint and disappear. While disappearing, CNN should take all of its friends in the Opposition Party with them, that would be NBC, MSNBC, ABC, etc..
Goodbye CNN. You won’t be missed.

Win win win. Yes!
Good! Who’d want to eat with that CNN stench floating around?
It’s an admission they’re political propagandists, not news journalists.
And they are the only one’s who care about it life inside the bubble goes on.
How is this news? I mean, why are the people who are supposed to be reporting the news the subject of the news they’re reporting? Isn’t that a lot like staring at yourself in a mirror?
Libs can dish it out from microphones on stage but will never engage in debate or listen to someone else from the stage who has a different point of view.
