The mainstream media say there is a lot of curiosity about who will attend the White House Christmas party after CNN boycotts it.
Not likely.
Per Politico:
Adding fuel to its growing feud with President Donald Trump, CNN told POLITICO it will be boycotting the White House Christmas party for the media this year.
“CNN will not be attending this year’s White House Christmas party,” a CNN spokesperson said. “In light of the President’s continued attacks on freedom of the press and CNN, we do not feel it is appropriate to celebrate with him as his invited guests. We will send a White House reporting team to the event and report on it if news warrants.”
The annual event, scheduled for Friday at 2 p.m., is typically seen as a time when reporters and their bosses can mingle freely with administration members, but Trump’s posture toward the press has been uniquely aggressive.
W.H. is hosting a Christmas party for media this Friday at 2pm. Lots of curiosity about who will & will not attend. CNN staffers will not, per @JasonSchwartz https://t.co/HL8UmXsqrz

As usual, tension is high between CNN and President Trump after Trump tweeted that CNN represents the United States poorly around the world.

CNN wishes they could still be relevant. President Trump has destroyed them.
