They hate Trump but at the same time they are mad that he isn't going attend their annual self-aggrandizement dinner. Their tantrums can be seen in who has cancelled their parties afterwards and who was thinking about not attending, like CNN, before Tump announced he wouldn't attend.
It's obvious these people have an inflated view of their own self-importance. It would end up being a "let's-see-if-we-can-dunk-Trump-in-the-tank-of-water-after-throwing-hardballs-at-him" carnival game.
He's right not to go and the media is wrong in whining about it. According to their WHCDA president, the dinner is about raising money for scholarships. Gee, who would have guessed. I'll bet few people knew that but the insiders.
I agree with the Prez not attending. Let these a$$holes pretend that they are something that they are not.
I have a dim recollection of Trump delivering a pretty harsh burn at one of these events, or something like it. It went like “I was meeting with the heads of the big media companies today, the real high-ups, the people who decide for the country what’s published”, and then asked everybody to give a big round of applause to Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Hillary Clinton, etc. Nobody but we deplorables were smiling.
Are you suggesting that they may “draft” Obola as a stand in?
“Piers Morgan suggested that the MSM was planning on not showing up in order to humiliate POTUS but Trump saw it coming and beat them to it.”
I love it, an empty room! If that happens, it’s the end of “the correspondent’s dinner for the next 8 years!
There is a difference between nerds and dorks. The media are dorks. Nerds actually know and can do things. Dorks are like nerds with no skill set.
Oh!!! No...I love this one...I’m a vegan, tho!...:))
Where do they get off calling themselves nerds? Nerds are generally those kids (and adults) who are too smart or cerebral to fit in with the crowds. They are the ones who become engineers, physicists and mathematicians. Journalists are the ones who, as students, go to the course catalog and find easy classes to take, and end up taking sociology and humanities. The ones that don't make it to being actual journalists become social workers. They are not nerds by any stretch of the imagination.
This nerd prom - even though the press isn’t smart enough to be nerds - needs to be shut down.
Please name any Republican President in the past 40, 60 or heck, 80 years who the press treated with a "friendly, good-natured rivalry".
Anyone one?
Bueller?
Bueller?
Ok now name any deamonRAT President in the same period who was treated with anything but love and occasionally reverence and worship by the media?
Still crickets?
The difference between those former Republican Presidents and Trump is that he shoots back.
I like his style, it’s goal oriented and he knows that no matter what he does, he’s going to be criticized by the MSM........So why play their silly games.......
To hear the amount of consternation coming from the cable news community youd think that the United States was about to invade Canada.
That’s on Wednesday.
Well the one I saw was where Obama was riffing on Trump about bc at the correspondence dinner.
That’s the one. That was the turning point for POTUS.
I wouldn’t want to get on the wrong side of those formidable ladies, either!
I don’t know. Bush went to all of them when he was President and it really turned the press around to him and they started covering him accurately and fairly more and more every year....oh...right.
Prime Minister Harper skipped the Parliamentary Press Gallery Dinner (Canada’s Nerd Prom) throughout his entire nine years in office. Even the media stopped pointing out his absence after a while.
There was a time, when the press was not so uniformly partisan and ideological, when the President could attend the dinner and take a sharp-tongued but not malicious ribbing. Now he would just expose himself to partisan propaganda devoid of real wit or humour. So let them have their little party. The boss has better things to do.
I like the President being at the dinner.
Fact: If POTUS Trump is not there...there is no WHCD!!! Oh...they may hold one for themselves...but, no one will be watching or, listening to any words these fools & buffoons utter!!! LMAO...while rolling on the floor!!!
