<p>American cable TV news networks like CNN were a target of President Barack Obama's wit as he let loose a series of zingers at journalists assembled for the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner.<br /><br />Obama told the audience he was a little jet-lagged from his recent trip to Asia which included a stop in Malaysia.<br /><br />"I am happy to be here, even though I am a little jet- lagged from my trip to Malaysia," Obama said as he opened his remarks at the WHCA's 100th anniversary.<br /><br />"The lengths we have to go to get CNN coverage these days" the President said, adding, "I think they're still searching for their table," — a riff on the cable network's extensive focus on Flight MH370 tragedy.<br /><br />The president's remarks came during a night of celebrity -meets-politics in which 2,600 formally dressed movie actors, politicians, singers, journalists, television stars and military officers gathered for their once-a-year party.</p>.<p><br />Comedian and actor Joel McHale, who spoke after Obama as the evening's entertainment, also targeted the CNN, joking, "100 years ago, CNN was only searching for the Wright brothers' plane."<br /><br />Obama also took a shot at MSNBC's low viewership ratings.<br /><br />"MSNBC is here. They're a little overwhelmed. They've never seen an audience this big before."<br /><br />As for Fox News, the President joked that the cable outlet was a front for the Koch brothers, a pair of billionaire industrialists known for their monetary contributions to conservative groups and causes.<br /><br />"I'm just kidding," Obama added, "Let's face it, Fox. You'll miss me when I'm gone. It'll be harder to convince the American people that Hillary was born in Kenya."<br /><br />Clinton, former Secretary of State, is widely seen as the front-runner in the 2016 presidential race, though she is yet to confirm her intention to run. </p>
