Trump to again skip White House correspondents' dinner
Donald Trump
The US President regularly accuses major media organizations such as CNN, The New York Times and The Washington Post of bias, and he organized a rally of supporters on the same evening as last year's dinner
Donald Trump will for the second year in a row snub the annual White House correspondents' dinner, organisers said on Friday.
"The White House has informed us that the president does not plan to participate in this year's dinner," Margaret Talev, the president of the White House Correspondents' Association, said in a statement.
Other members of the Trump administration are, however, expected to attend the dinner in Washington on April 28.
Trump regularly accuses major media organizations such as CNN, The New York Times and The Washington Post of bias, and he organized a rally of supporters on the same evening as last year's dinner.
The Republican president's assaults on the "fake news" media have sharpened in recent weeks and have included attacks on CNN president Jeff Zucker and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who owns The Washington Post.
Ever since he became president, Trump has strongly favored news outlets that provide glowing coverage, a group of almost 200 local TV stations, that include Fox News, the Daily Caller, Newsmax and Sinclair.
