"will continue to be a celebration of the First Amendment and the important role played by an independent news media in a healthy republic"

Aha, the phrase "independent news media" implies that their focus is on the historical role the media once played in the distant past, but hasn't for 2 or 3 (or more?) generations now.

...and hopefully through the next seven iterations. These pompous asses need to be reminded just how little they matter.

Obama started the nasty insults of Donald Trump at this gathering of the Democrat media back in 2011. (Look up “Obama insults Trump at Dinner.”) No one should be surprised that he is not attending, because the presidency would be dragged into the sewer. He should say he refuses to encouraging bullying.

He should show them his generosity by increasing the percentage of alcohol in the beverages they are drinking. For example, wine is typically 9%-16%, so have them increase it to 25%. Because they are on expense accounts, it is unlikely they will object to it.

Imagine how much more entertaining the event would be with a room full of sloppy drunks.

Mathew 7:6 "Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.

Perfect!

I hope VP Mike Pence doesn't go either...

They’ll just roast him in his absence then entertain each other with blanket media coverage of it.

Trump will keep working and the left will fall farther behind.

The Bushies played right into the hateful media’s hands. Go Trump.

Amen !

GWB was great right after 9/11, but it was pretty much a self-inflicted downhill slide from then on, sadly   :-\

With very very few exceptions, the Enemedia is precisely that,
Given that they were/are not prepared to give DJT the slightest break, ridiculing them is the only approach to take with the vermin w/o losing credibility and momentum.

We have a fighter, at long last.
