Greg Todd Every president has been invited to the White House Correspondents Association dinner for more than 100 years. President Calvin Coolidge was the first to attend. The event honors the work of the White House press corps and the First Amendment—not the president
Nick Field "An overnight White House pool report noted that Jacqui Heinrich, the Fox News correspondent and president of the White House Correspondents’ Association, “went to the front of the plane for a lengthy off-record conversation” with Donald Trump" www.status.news/p/david-elli...
Bill Addis Think of what Donald Trump gave as a speech at the White House Correspondents' Dinner this year. Then look at this sketch that Joe Biden did with Julia Louis-Dreyfus in 2014. That's Chuck Todd who Julia is doodling on. #Biden #Dreyfus #WhiteHouse #CorrespondentsDinner
AFinRenoFightsBack 🌊2026 🌊 The press wear ‘kick me’ signs and wonder why Trump kicks them "Trump feels emboldened to disrespect the press because the press disrespects itself...his abuse would be less effective if they put up a united front to defend press freedom and obvious truths:" open.substack.com/pub/stopthep...
Dirty Devotee That lawsuit will probably get thrown out. Technically their action should be against the White House Correspondents' Association. www.cnn.com/2026/09/23/p...
Scott Nover The Reporters Committee, the White House Correspondents' Association, and 49 news organizations — including The Washington Post — file an amicus brief in support of the banned outlets' request for a temporary restraining order. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Milbrathdraws trump loves ignoring The Constitution. The latest is FREE SPEECH..he banned 3 stations from WH. The good news the entire White House Correspondents’ Association stood in solidarity with the 3. Wish universities, law firms, and tech bros had that courage. #1stamendment @cartoonmovement.com @aclu.org
Keith Olbermann THEN STOP COVERING HIM, White House Correspondents Association STOP LETTING HIM THREATEN FREE SPEECH - and you GO IN, TELL HIM TO HIS FACE THAT HE'S LYING TO YOU, AND THEN WALK OUT STAND UP FOR DEMOCRACY - THIS HAND-WRINGING IS JUST PASSIVE COLLABORATION
Scott Nover BREAKING: TV pool will not be providing coverage of presidential events until further notice b/c of CNN's ban, pool chair and FOX News Washington Bureau Chief Bryan Boughton said. It's effectively a boycott by the fellow members — ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX: www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
Adam Cohen (My Personal Views Only) The White House Correspondents’ Association should’ve boycotted Trump when he revoked Jim Acosta’s press credentials They should’ve boycotted when he sued the NY Times They should’ve boycotted when he insulted all the female reporters Instead, they honored him by letting him speak at their dinner
@sandymarsh.bsky.social The mainstream press did this to itself‼️🤬‼️ They allow themselves to be ridiculed, insulted, demonized, demeaned, and still come groveling. They invited him to sit in honor at the White House Correspondents’ TWICE and still he banns them‼️
