The Hill to end attendance at WHCA dinner

The Hill, a left wing propaganda site that tries to pretend they aren’t has announced they are dropping out of the White House Correspondence Dinner after the meltdown of Michelle Wolf this past weekend at the dinner. Nice try The Hill, but no one is fooled that you actually care about the integrity of these dinners. You guys used to be fairly tolerable reading, but you have become Politico 2.0 since Trump took office.

The Hill to end attendance at WHCA dinner

The Hill said Tuesday it is pulling out of future White House Correspondents’ dinners without “major reforms” to the event following the controversy that erupted over comedian Michelle Wolf’s performance at this year’s dinner on Saturday.

“The Hill, which has participated in the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) dinner for many years, does not plan at this time to participate in the event moving forward,” James Finkelstein, The Hill’s chairman, wrote in a letter dated Tuesday to Steven Thomma, executive director of the White House Correspondents’ Association.

“In short, there’s simply no reason for us to participate in something that casts our profession in a poor light. Major changes are needed to the annual event,” the letter states.
Finkelstein’s letter criticized Wolf’s performance as “out of line” and said that The Hill hoped the dinner could get “back to talking about the importance of the Fourth Estate without the kind of ugly sideshow that completely overshadowed the event this year.”

“Along those lines, we will happily donate in the future to the WHCA scholarship program and hope this program can produce future journalists to fight for freedom of the press while remaining non-partisan,” Finkelstein wrote. “In the meantime, without major reforms, The Hill no longer wishes to participate in future dinners.”
