Washington, D.C.-based political newspaper The Hill announced Tuesday it would not be participating in future White House Correspondents' Dinners, saying this year's event cast a poor image of the industry.

The Capitol Hill mainstay made its announcement days after host Michelle Wolf gave a comedy routine that was criticized by conservative and mainstream journalists alike for its vulgarity and hostility towards White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

Of course, if anyone has ever read The Hill, they know that Michelle Wolfe's "comedy" reflects the paper's approach to the news with stunning fidelity, albeit without as much snark.

They don't think she's wrong (even though she is), they just think it makes the paper look bad (which it does).
