((( WHCA President Olvier Knox released in a statement last year. “As we celebrate the importance of a free and independent news media to the health of the republic, I look forward to hearing Ron place this unusual moment in the context of American history.”)))

about a free & independent News Media sums it up for me.

The dinner is Saturday night of Easter weekend so I’m betting the rally will be in FLA. hopefully on the west coast of FLA with all the midwesterners.the Bushes would have to clear out for the weekend.

Then WH should have a 24-7 channel or podcast and do away with WH correspondants. The purpose of the first amendment was to get the government actions out to the people. Anyone now can receive info and check it out online or web sites like here. e don’t need a middleman anymore. Close the press room and turn it into a broadcast center.

The press secretary shouldn’t talk to the press every day, she should be on line answering questions from the public.

“Freedom of the press is always a timely subject and this seems like the perfect moment to go back to basics.”

Going back to basics would include noting that the First also recognizes freedom of speech, assembly, petition to the government, and religion, and recognizing that the “Press” includes a lot more than just establishment media.

freedom of the press doesn’t mean camping 24-7 in the white house

[”I’m going to hold a rally,” Trump said. “The dinner is so boring and so negative that we’re going to hold a very positive rally.”]

A MAGA rally with 20,000+ patriotic Americans instead of the commie media? Sounds great to me!

Trump should ask that his seat be reserved, and then...

Place a big hand in his seat facing the stage, with writing in the hand that says, “talk to the hand”.

(Preferably, the hand should have its middle finger raised).

Let them figure out if that’s ‘presidential’ or not.

"“Freedom of the press is always a timely subject and this seems like the perfect moment to go back to basics. "

You mean like actually doing research, and reporting the facts instead of pulling fairy tales out of thin air?

The Association hired author Ron Chernow to speak about the First Amendment for this year's dinner.

I'm currently reading Chernow's biography of Grant. It's very good if a bit overly detailed.

Honestly the WHCA dinner should be eighty-sixed but the MSM participants are too self-absorbed to see it as the rest of us do: a massive circle jerk. It's so self-masturbatory it should be shown on Porn Hub.

In fact, he goes out of his way to rub their face in the world of SUCK they created for themselves. Their best days are OVER and he's playing a huge part in their ruin - which is a large part of why they so viscerally despise him.

Indeed, he deflates their over-inflated egos and ignores their self-appointed position as arbiters of all things moral, legal, Constitutional, and racist. It drives them into frothing-at-the-mouth rage. And tears.

Last year's dinner came under harsh criticism after hired comedian Michelle Wolf ....

Who has quickly returned to obscurity. Thank God. Didn't she have a show on Netflix or Amazon or one of the streaming services? It lasted about a month. It's running gag was how hilarious abortion is.

The press, for the most part, have done a 180 and now protects them from us!!

Well, Democrats anyway.

As Jim Treacher says (roughly), the purpose of the media is to suppress any story that reflects badly on Democrats.

“No word yet on whether White House staff will also skip the event.”

A complete no show by the White House staff would be the icing on the cake.
