President of the White House Correspondents' Association Margaret Talev defends the decision to have Michelle Wolf as the comedian at the dinner, saying "she had a message to deliver and she did." Talev also said she hoped "those 15 minutes" do not "define four hours of what was a wonderful and unifying night."
Wolf's set has been criticized by both CNN and FOX News.
"I think she brought to the night what she thought was important to say, and her goal may not have been press unity and everyone rallying around to support journalism," Talev also said.

It’s a hoax, the day and date do not line up with any calender.
Next time read the comedy routine in advance to see if strays from the message of the first four hours?
Yet she and her cohorts just RE-enforced 'the sewer' that
the Journalists, Reporters and Hollywood swims in daily!
YOU OWN this fluffy one!
Looks to be a fake report.
That can’t be real.
Just the opposite - spend millions putting clips of the foul-mouthed witch on TV and social media ads where even more people will see them and understand what fools they are to support the democrat party and MSM newes outlets. More cord-cutting and party affiliation switching from D to R will result from this fiasco.
When you enemy is on fire you want to pour on some gas, not hand them a fire extinguisher.
Remember this name, this is the Swamp Worm that needs the swamp to survive.
No, we had your number long before this. Still, you hired her - you own this turkey.
The organizers of the event knew what she would say. Thus they support what she said. They are naught but weasel dung.
Don’t judge the whole event by its most visible attribute? Hard to do.
Yes...but as always the left pulls crap like this off and then apologizes after the fact. Standard ‘operating procedures’.
Do not post garbage
Close down WHCA. Shut them down completely. Should have been done on Day One when President Trump moved into the White House. Now, with this, do it now. Let the media in by invitation only, let them otherwise report from OUTSIDE the White House fence.
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?"

btt
Ah, but we cant just ignore it. It helped define the whole event and really reflects the other participants attitudes as well as many attendees.
I predict Ed Henry will force her to apologize tomorrow
