Yes, they will get a white, probably male “comedian” that will completely avoid any roasting of trump.

We need a correspondents dinner for journalists, they'd let Amber be Amber.

Yep nothing says first amendment and freedom of the press like being afraid of what a comedian might joke about the🍊🤡

Can't handle comedy? Check your freedoms at the door? Remember the Land of the Free, Home of the Brave? Their motto is to blank feelings anyhow, why are they all touchy now?

Cowards... Silence is complicit.

Whaaaaaat?

Knees bent...

Of course. It's North Korea now.

Another set of cowards. Trump and his followers are so whiny and thin-skinned.

It's sham anyway. There's no journalistic ingreity in this White House. Why not eliminate that along with everything else? It would be a sycophant extravaganza and ridiculous.

Cowards

Wow what a cowardly move.

Hear me out... Tony Hinchcliffe should do it. These guys double down on everything else

apologetic legal firms acquire press cover

The Fourth Estate is capitulating to the Fourth Reich. When's Kristallnacht? 🤔

That’s how you celebrate the 1st A?

Cancel the entire dinner!

Must surround needy narcissist Donald with fawning, servile PR flaks posing as independent journalists.

Especially when they come from the mouth of a smart, successful, Black woman.

especially if coming from a woman.

He's been seeking revenge ever since President Obama roasted him at the WHCA the night Bin Laden was killed.

The Nerd Prom becomes the Vichy Soirée.

His skin is so thin. He has no sense of humour. He’s just pathetic. And so is the WH Correspondents’ Association for caving.

Scrap this whole circle jerk.

They should have Obama host it

Cowards.

They couldn’t get Jeff Dunham?

Journalists should boycott the WHCA!!

Just stop doing this event it only serves to defang and subjugate media to political influence

Self censorship is a very powerful mechanism if authoritarians succeed in inplanting it in society.

I would love to see a list of WHCA members who are willing to attend this event. There *might* have been a time when it was okay for journalists to gather this way with the people they report on but those days are gone. The event should be canceled

Then cancel it altogether.

I heard comedy is legal again.

Sad cause laughter can be a powerful agent of civiliant disobedience.

Ridiculous. Making fun of a dictator is the best way to rob him of respect/power. Plus it is still America and making fun of the POTUS is one of the best ways to exercise free speech.

The Collaborators' News Network should get a scoop on the WHCA's change of name.

Cowards. She too Black for whca. Whatever. Amber don't need that ghetto dinner. [slight Ebonics]. #Blacksky

Cowards through and through

It’s been an evening of undeserved self-congratulations.

Thin skinned Felon Cheetos faced imbecile and his ketomine junkie Nazi can’t handle any jokes about them. Poor babies

Maga are pansies.

They’re currently making offers to any white comic who’s been recorded using the N word.

Fucking cowards

Their cowardice is just embarrassing.

Elon is the le epic hilarious and comedians can’t compete

They cannot handle anything but abject sycophancy.

I'm channeling my anger into Saturday cleaning and having drinks during Have I Got News for You tonight. Grrr. 👊🏳️‍🌈🔥

Welcome to the 'we can't book a comedian or the President will have her disappeared and then us' phase of Trump's grand plan for yanking all the copper out of this shambling corpse-nation's walls.

I have no idea why. Cry baby hasn't went since his first year in office. This is just their way of appeasing the little snowflakes and his war against DEI. Riffing is a fantasic comedian and writer. Of and she's black and women. So there's that. Don't be fooled. They are bending the knee too

So the only legal comedy is the unfunny shit elonia says..... 🙃

Or this guy.

Hey Vichy….

I'd like that 'sarcasm' font when I respond...shocker.

I thought comedy was legal now

Cowardice in the face fascism.

If Eugene Daniels as the president of the WHCA is caving in like this than he needs to step down. Every correspondence and their network or publication boycott the dinner. I look forward to the broadcast every year no matter who is President is but I won’t this year. #AmberRuffin

Are the free speech freedom fighters in the comedian world going to come to Amber's defense and take on this cancel culture? Will Joe Rogan have her on to perform the set she was going to do? SNL going to have her host a show?

So, you cowards are bending the knee - the reputation of people pretending to be honest journalists is deep in the crapper.

Tesla $TSLA is an Oligargch empire. Musk isn’t a visionary. He’s a parasite who props up fascism and sells hate. Every showroom is a battleground now. Every Tesla, a symbol of Dictatorship. We will take Tesla down for good. This isn’t protest. It’s Phase II. #teslatakedown

They’re bringing back Michelle Wolf.

Candy asses.

Fucking cowards

Oh, those damn cowards!

Comedy is legal again!

“Amber says WHAT?!?”

Fascists and their appeasers have no use for comedy that isn't explicitly aimed at their designated scapegoats

lol are they scared or something

Why not cancel the whole thing? "WH correspondents" just means Fox State Media or worse. I never watch or listen to a word from the WH because it is all LIES. I feel sorry for traditional media reporters on the beat who have to hear and repeat lies all day every day.

@cnn.com @msnbc.com @nytimes.com @theguardian.com @theatlantic.com @apnews.com (if they are invited) WHY WOULD ANY OF YOU GO TO THIS??!!! He thrives on being in the spotlight, DON'T share your night with him. Unless you are going to ROAST the hell out of him. Then I'm making 🍿 🍷 🥂

Is this a “cop-out”? History repeats itself. Look at Watergate!

There’s nothing funny about what’s going on.

that makes zero sense to me but carry on my wayward son 🤣 we need reporters to tell us what's happening and the dinner is FOR them.

Odious quislings. Every 'news' outlet and 'reporter' who would show up to this thing deserves to never be listened to again. And THAT is me being polite about what should happen to them. The administration is /literally/ disappearing students, and you want to party like it is business as usual?

@rolandsmartin.bsky.social platform her

Cowardly “good Germans”

Appalling non-journalists capitulating to the Fascists. Anyone who attends this event should be ashamed of themselves.

Whitewashing what’s happening

“Obey in advance” never serves those who obey, only those who seek to terrorize us. Also. What a bunch of feckless fucking cowards.

Another one bites the dust

He wrote an executive order prohibiting people laughing at him. So we know what to do.

Not the first time they decided not to include a comedy act: in 2007, after Stephen Colbert roasted GWB the year before, the WCHA invited Rich Little to perform instead.

And they take a knee to Diaper Donnie; sad

Cowards kissing the ring.

Chickens

Bending the knee to the felon demonstrates a complete lack of independence.

Why are they even having the dinner?

I pooped today.

The event is a dinosaur & now a joke. The free press joining the ranks (Law firms, universities , etc) of those who bow down 2Trump. Pretty soon there willB no 1 left except your local dry cleaners. Did U ever try 2get them 2compensate U4 screwing up your clothes. Those fuckers will never give in.

Weaklings. Haven’t you learned compliance is useless?

Because he's a little FN baby

Well, l hope she got paid up front and uses the money for a Turks and Cacos vacation. Screw them!

Looking forward to Amber's upcoming special, "Not the Whitehouse Correspondents' Dinner. "

Try this lede: "Correspondents Capitulate Completely to Cult of Criminal Cronies"

She’s too smart for that crowd anyway.

Fired because of Trump's aggressive bigotry and her identity as an out black lesbian. Love you, @amberruffin.bsky.social Cowardly, WHCA #journamalism

Need to cancel all together since journalist continue to be mistreated by this administration!! Or move outside DC and not include anyone even associated with the admin!!

Why would any self-respecting journalist go to an event orchestrated by the same administration that is trying to silence them? Pathetic!

I don't know about you guys.....BUT....I can't wait to see what SNL does with the whole "Signalgate" sitch! Who needs a Comedian when the jokes write themselves?!

They're obeying in advance. Fucking cowards.

Cowards the press no longer the Forth Estate!

… and the WHCA bows to the Orange King in fear. 🖕

" We're celebrating the First Amendment this year instead of division," and my eyes permanently roll back into my frontal lobe . I'm going hitchhiking in Iran.

So the WHCA has decided to become the White House Propaganda Association? Good luck with your fundraising now!

Must protect the righty snowflakes ego's.

What a bunch of chicken shits.

Poor, poor fascist America!

Trumpy & Elonwa are trying to distract Americans and the whole world with his antics just to loot the Treasury Thieves through and through www.yahoo.com/news/trump-a...

Nice job you Nazi enabling cowardly pieces of shit. When they come for you there won’t be any of us left to protect your quisling asses.

Et Tu, WHCA??? 😡

In Germany, this behavior is called equalization! You adapt to the emerging dictatorship! That’s not a good sign! I would have expected more resistance from US journalists.

Journalists and BigLaw need to grow a backbone, and not scurry away frightened of the Orange Bully. We see what’s already happening when they don’t

@eugene

Eugene, WTF?

Get Bill Burr up there, Make Elon Musk cry.

Any reporter who shows up to this event is a traitor to the country.

Let them know how you feel. whca.press/contact/

First they came for the comediennes…..

They are caving too. Very sad.

Shitbags

Gutless
