Shop NowBelieve it or not, we are still seeing the fallout from the White House banning the media from the big wedding last weekend.
The White House press corps was already upset about not being able to cover it in any way.
When the Vogue cover came out, well, they went completely ballistic.
They Lied to Us
There is a new dissenter in the ranks in Katie Rogers, a writer for the New York Times.
What really ticked her off was that she had a lead on the story over a month ago that Vogue was getting the exclusive, and the White House pushed her off the story.
Rogers, after seeing the Vogue cover, wrote, “I had reporting in [October] about Vogue being tapped to cover this and I was waved off.
“Official explanation is that Vogue wasn’t there the day of. Loophole = the family staged a ‘wedding at the WH’ shoot beforehand. ‘Private’ per @PressSec = not for the White House press corps.
WaPo writer Ashley Parker added, “I spent four years covering the Trump WH and two years covering the Biden WH.
“What’s fascinating is that they both lie, albeit in [very] different ways. Trump team was shameless, whereas Biden team is too cute by half.”
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre responded, “Vogue did not attend the wedding … there was no press access.
“Vogue did a portrait shoot on Thursday afternoon” and “embargoed it until today to give ample time for the photos to be in the public sphere.”
Parker came right back, tweeting, “TO BE CLEAR: Not all lies are created equal and the magnitude, frequency and audacity is certainly different. But the Biden WH, for ex, has also waived [sic] us off correct reporting about Biden’s SCOTUS pick, his Egypt trip, attendees in private meetings, etc.”
Fellow Times writer Maggie Haberman followed suit, writing, “We cover the small lies politicians tell because they can give way to bigger ones, for folks wondering why this is news.
“That’s what the press is supposed to do.”
This has to feel like an even bigger slap in the face due to how the media has defended and avoided negative stories that would have hurt Joe Biden.
I can only see this getting worse, but that will surely benefit the American people who might finally see this administration revealed for the fraud and lairs they are.
