Apparently is is true that CNN was not at the pre-SOTU luncheon.
The reason why CNN was not invited could be because they leaked off-the-record information last year:
I expect the SOTU to follow the previous two years, in which the President has made promises, after which he follows through on those promises, or at least attempts to make good on them despite constant opposition. I imagine he will also remind the voting public of all of the great things that have been done to their advantage since inauguration day, 2017.

Some of the Dims are boycotting the SOTU, including AOC. Love this response:

PDJT unfortunately has to be somewhat restrained till after the vote is taken tomorrow. But after an appropriate amount of time, (an hour?) hope he lets it rip and brings the rath and a fury down upon the treacherous swine. Whether they have a (D), (R), or (I) in front of their name.

I think he’s pretty well sure that there won’t be any Republican defectors slithering to the Rat side when the vote’s taken, and if tonite was restrained I’d shudder to think what emotional would have been. As it were I’m sensing a cry to battle.

What are the chances that President Trump turns around and says to Nervous Nancy, “You should be ashamed of yourself.” ?

I loved the way that every now and then it looked like Mancy’s Aricept was kicking in, also how pained she was to applaud during those awkward times when it was politically appropriate to do so. Note that no one showed Tlaib or Omar’s reactions when Trump mentioned ‘Islamic terrorism’ or introduced the family of the young woman murdered by ISIS.

They didn’t make a scene because they weren’t there. They boycotted.

They did show the once or twice, they were sitting together chatting. Omar an Tlaib are also reported not top have stood for the Tuskegee airman who Trump promoted to brigadier general.

I was looking for their reaction also. Watched it with a hundred other patriots more on all of it tomorrow.

It’s a shame that Choppers didn’t try to tear the copy of the speech she had up with her teeth. She made a mistake in just using her cloven hands.

The Democrats were a sad bunch, I got tired of their disjointed rebuttal after about 6 minutes and went and to do dishes.
