CNN added their own spin to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner by repeatedly labeling it an “event honoring the First Amendment.”

In various chyrons on Saturday night, CNN asserted that President Trump “skipped” or “snubbed” an “event honoring the First Amendment,” which made Trump’s absence seem much more sinister. President Trump instead held a rally in Washington Twp., Mich. (RELATED: ‘We Will Impeach The President!’ — Trump Does His Best Maxine Waters Impression And The Crowd LOVES It)

Conservative media members and other politicos mocked CNN for claiming the WHCD is about the First Amendment.
