How bad was that White House Correspondents Dinner Trump refused to attend?
By Ethel C. Fenig
Unlike his predecessors, President Trump chose to absent himself from the mainstream media's smug, sanctimonious, self-celebratory annual gathering, formally known as the White House Correspondents Dinner.
 
Last year's crude, rude, misogynistic attack on Trump's White House press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, by a crude, rude, unfunny female comedian at the dinner, was the last straw. His staying away now proved that Trump is a man of taste.  Rather than bother with these failed clowns, Trump attended an enthusiastic rally in Wisconsin, a place most of the White House correspondents know about as much about as Hillary Clinton does, given that it's a state filled with people these same correspondents look down upon.
 
These know-nothing newsies, or as Trump describes them, purveyors of fake news, didn't like being ignored.  The organization's president, Olivier Knox, drowning in self-pity, proved it with his poor-little-me fake news speech.

The national news media had never not tried to color the news. It's just in the last thirty years or so with the dawn of conservative talk radio and the internet they've not been quite as able to get away with ignoring news they don't like or altering the news they do air/publish.
Trump shoots from the hip too often, but he is mostly right about them....the liberal news media is the enemy of the country.

The usual self-congratulatory nonsense, I suspect. I don't know. I only read a few excerpts from the keynote speaker.

   Perhaps had that azzhole not roasted Donald Trump in 2011 at the WHCD, we would all be better off, but maybe not.

A group of sanctimonious, self-satisfied, holier-than-thou, snob Liberals all sitting around masturbating to their own greatness. Just like the same thing in Hollywood with their 100+ 'awards' shows, I think I will pass. Don't care if that is how they want to spend their time, I just don't want to be any part of it, or even near it.
