Hannity Suggests Shutting Down White House Press Office

Buck Banks

People don’t need them any more. They’re done. I suggested the other day that if any of these organizations were involved in collusion with the Clinton campaign, why do they get a seat in the White House press office? Why does Donald Trump need a White House press office? He doesn’t. You know, you can have a pool person that’s standing by if, God forbid, there’s any bad news about the president that the country needs to know, but his own staff could tweet it out, for crying out loud.

— TV talking head Sean Hannity, telling Breitbart News Daily that President-elect Donald Trump should shut down the White House press office.

If You Can’t Take the Jokes, Skip the Dinner

I was asked by every single group of media available to mankind to attend this year. But I’ve decided not to go. Do you know why? I would have a good time and the press would say I look like I wasn’t having a good time.

— Donald Trump, saying he will not be attending this year’s White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, despite receiving a flurry of invitations from the media, The Hill reports.

White House Correspondents Dinner Gets the Gawker Treatment

Buck Banks

Tomorrow evening, the cream of our nation’s mainstream media celebrities, political celebrities, and celebrity celebrities will put on tuxedos and evening gowns and gather in a ballroom in Washington, DC to mutually give one another handjobs, in a mostly metaphorical sense. This is because the most powerful elements of our nation’s DC press corps are all ‘on the same team’ as the people they cover (politicians) and the people they idolize (celebrities). This is called the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, and it is the single most revolting annual gathering of pseudojournalistic cocksuckery in all the land.

— Gawker, stating the obvious.
