Journalists Appalled, Shocked Obama White House Would Lie to Them

Late last night the Washington Post broke a story about a connection between White House aides and the 2012 Secret Service prostitution scandal. When the scandal broke two years ago, the White House denied involvement or knowing about the details of what happened. The Post story proves otherwise and provides evidence a White House volunteer officially checked a prostitute into his hotel room in Cartagena, Colombia. The report also details threats made against the Inspector General, who was asked to delay the release of embarrassing and damaging information about the connection between the White House and the scandal until after the 2012 presidential election. 

Now, journalists who cover the White House are confused about why the administration would lie and cover-up such a minor issue. That's the point.

First instinct is to trust what the WH is saying, but they've squandered a lot of that trust lately.— Josh Kraushaar (@HotlineJosh) October 9, 2014

Huffington Post White House reporter: 

Amazing to me WH would go so far to cover up a volunteer staffer hiring a hooker... b/c of fear of election fallout? http://t.co/Tbxri48syH— jennifer bendery (@jbendery) October 9, 2014

Over to you Michelle Malkin and John Podhoretz:

Luv that lib journos are finally waking up to Obama #cultureofcorruption & admin's bullying of inspectors general. Good morning! #Cartagena— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) October 9, 2014

Look, if they'd cover up THIS nothingburger...that's the point, guys. That's the point.— John Podhoretz (@jpodhoretz) October 9, 2014

I’ve heard that Gorilla Glue is pretty strong stuff, but no adhesive is stronger than the glue that keeps lefty journos lips stuck to Obama’s kiester.

Only because it’s time to shift gears and apply the blindfolds for the Hillary campaign

The 5Ws went out the window when Barry climbed in. Secondly, any ‘reporter’ that ‘trusts’ a damn thing, ESPECIALLY from a pol is a complete idiot in need of other employment. The very concept of reportage is to get at the truth of a given situation, ergo ‘trusting’ the subject is contrary to that concept.

Why try to get truth if you believe what is handed to you?

In truth, this is CYA for these frauds. Nothing more.

To suddenly wake up and say they got smart...won’t work with the public.

Are you kidding me? The public couldn't pour p*ss out of a boot if the media didn't stamp a story about the Kardashians on the heel!

I suspect this is 'awakening' is nothing more than journalists switching from being 'fools for Obama' to being 'fools for Hillary'...

Josh Kraushaar, Jennifer Bendery, the New York Times and Washington Post need to seriously throw the blinders off....

Two small mentions: - Journalists ARE being beheaded because they've NEVER really been 'citizens of the world' - there's no such thing ... AND Obama's lying about it all... everything. Fast and Furious, Benghazi, Ebola, Iran, Israel, the NSA, the press...

Woodward is, and he wrote a book exposing Obama’s role in the budget negotiations with Boner. It completely and totally ruined Obama’s lie. The result, if you recall, was that the MSM turned on Woodward, their hero. It showed me that the MSM would do anything and everything to preserve Obama.

You're right. Woodward's the last real reporter on the left. The rest of them are worthless... worse than the liars the fall for...

They aren’t very good reporters if they aren’t suspicious

They're not reporters, they are mouthpieces

They’re still alive. But the person in the white house is a democrat. They only bring down republicans.

[Califreak]

WH isn’t supposed to lie to the press.

Only to the people of America.

Which doesn’t bother the press because the press puts the lies out there for the WH

No honor among thieves

[Popman]

These WH reporters must the dumbest SOB on the planet...

[Monorprise]

Can’t help but wonder with ever growing certainty had Obama & and his campaign staff in the American media played honest Obama would have lost the 2012 election.

[Henry Hnyellar]

Why? Those same “reporters” routinely lie to the American public.
