HuffPost Boycotts WHCD: Trump's Presence 'Undermines Press Freedom'

0:00On April 21st, President Donald Trump is heading to the White House correspondence dinner this year, but Huff Post is drawing a hard line and skipping. It, after 17 straight years of attendance, this black-tie gala in Washington brings together top journalists to celebrate the free press. The event has long drawn fire for mixing reporters with the politicians they scrutinize, especially when presidents show up, which was standard until. Trump came along in 2017. Huff Post's decision stems from deep unease over Trump's record on the media, seeing his presence at a press freedom tribute as a total mismatch that undermines the whole point.

This boycott spotlights the raw clash between power and the press, forcing everyone to reckon with where those lines get crossed.
