White House reporters launched a hard-hitting attack on Donald Trump Saturday at the annual Correspondents' Association dinner - which the President pointedly snubbed.
The president of the White House Correspondents Association, Jeff Mason, used the get-together at the Washington Hilton to strongly criticize a president who has used his first 100 days of power as an opportunity to attack the media.
The absence of President Donald Trump, who has called the media 'fake,' 'dishonest' and even 'the enemy of the people,' marks the first time a president has declined since Ronald Reagan in 1981, who was, at the time, recovering from an assassination attempt.
