Samantha Bee Is Hosting an Alternative to the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner
It's a Trump roast called Not the White House Correspondents’ Dinner
While the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) dinner may not be the most pressing topic of consideration for either journalists or the White House given the explosion of news and issues contained in the first week of the Trump presidency, its imminent-ish April 29 arrival has brought up questions.
Will the president, who is in a self-described “war with the media,” attend? Would it be better if he didn’t attend the annual event for the organization whose job it is to advocate for White House access and for a free press? Add to that traditional questions about the event’s increasing Hollywoodification and departure from its original focus on raising money for scholarships, and some are wondering if it should even happen this year at all.
