If there is anything that shows how pathetic and impotent the media is, it’s people calling for the White House Correspondents’ Dinner to be cancelled to punish President Trump.
The Correspondents Dinner is a no-brainer at this point. @WHCA should either cancel or disinvite Trump. Fundraise scholarships without him.

I mean seriously guys, is that all you got? LOL!
All press outlets should boycott the WHCA dinner until the White House's abhorrent behavior towards members of the press stops. https://t.co/w2HYO28V7X

Cancel the White House Correspondents Association Dinner. This president has called us enemies of the American people. Stop normalizing him.

Yet another reason why the White House Correspondents’ Association must scrap the dinner that will give Trump a cozy platform. https://t.co/xHHbjV6lES

Cancel the fucking White House Correspondents Dinner.

@igorvolsky All the more reason to boycott the correspondents' dinner. Ignore him. He HATES that.

@SaraMurray CNN should host their own Correspondents' Dinner & outlets should attend that instead of WH's

I am hard-pressed to understand how ANY self-respecting journalist could consider attending the WHCD this year.

According to Buzzfeed, CNN is considering backing out of the WHCD, and Bloomberg has already cancelled their after-party. Big whoop. They’re pretending as if the dinner is there to celebrate the president and it’ll hurt his feelings if they don’t go. But we all know the dinner is for the media to pat each other on the back and kiss each others’ asses. So who cares?
Might as will post this from Obama’s WHCD where Seth Meyers absolutely torches Trump, and probably inspired him to run:

Looks like Trump got the last laugh, huh?
I vastly prefer the reaction from CNN’s John King to Trump’s attacks. He tells the media to stop whining, and work harder. Boom. Quit being wussies.
