Star Washington Post Reporter Yearns For Trump And Says Biden Lies


The Washington Post’s Ashley Parker claimed that both the Biden and Trump White Houses lie as she set up a flawed and inaccurate false equivalency.

Parker tweeted:

The DC reporters are mad because they were not allowed in to cover the Biden family wedding, but Vogue got a photo shoot before the wedding.

Parker’s claim that both the Biden and Trump White Houses lie is journalistic malpractice because she is creating a total false equivalency by ignoring what each White House supposedly “lied” about.

Biden’s White House “lied” about a family wedding and press access. Trump lied about an election being stolen and staged a bloody coup attempt to overthrow the government.

All administrations don’t tell the truth to reporters. It is the conflict in the relationship between the free press and elected leaders, but the DC press is accusing of Biden of lying about a privately funded wedding that did not use taxpayer resources or have to do with the government.

The two situations are not in the same universe, much less merit any sort of worthy comparison.

The reality is that corporate DC media types like Parker miss Trump because his constant lies, corruption, and drama elevated them. DC reporters got book deals and became celebrities during the Trump administration. Trump made the cynical and decaying corporate press a lot of money, and they miss him because they have slipped back into near irrelevance during the Biden administration.

1. Not really a "star" reporter. Just expressing a personal opinion because she thought she

should have been invited to the wedding.

A petty, irrelevant jerk

and if you read the responses to her, thay are NOT favorable at all

[agingdem]

28. Obviously, "invitation only" escapes her..

maybe powder-up-his-nose Don Jr. and screeching trouty mouth Kimberly will tie the knot soon and Ashley Parker can attend another gold toilet Trump wedding..she can only hope..

[JohnSJ]

30. Thank-you

[Walleye]

2. How long did it take them to actually call trumps falsehoods lies?

They were deemed misleading or inaccurate or open to interpretation. Finally after he was out of the presidency they called them lies. Now the Biden White House, not even Joe himself puts the obnoxious press on a little bit about vogue magazine covering the wedding, and it’s, Lies! Lies! He’s a liar! This is the way they did Hillary but it’s a little more difficult to do it to Joe because he is a man

[Mad_Machine76]

3. She is really

REEEEACCHHING there to find equivalence

[Rebl2]

22. Yep!

[Greybnk48]

4. Absolutely true. Our nickname for Ashley Parker for YEARS has been "Hot Mess."

She comes on t.v. looking like she just rolled out of the sack (look at me too busy to comb my hair), and was super careful not to say anything to offend Trump.

Can't stand her.

[FalloutShelter]

5. Just tired of the elevation of pure bullshit to

the level of reasonable discussion.

[snowybirdie]

6. She's the most

Irritating of the maIn stable of regulars on MSNBC. Messy hair and a glum face until they ask her a question. Then she brightens and smiles to a wide grin. So ingenious. I Ignore her regularly.

[NCjack]

14. Every time her name is mentioned, she quickly

flashes the "Ipana" Bucky Beaver smile, and it quickly transitions to glum.

[raging moderate]

7. So she's mad because they wanted more privacy at their wedding?

She's mad because the press did not get to take over the White House before, during, and after the Biden family wedding, and film it live as though it were some kind of fantasy extravaganza?

[Ray Bruns]

8. Trump lied about everything! How is this equivalent?

[Cha]

35. It's Not... Parker's LYING. nt

[CrispyQ]

9. Too damned many people put their personal agenda ahead of

the country. I hope they all rot.

[spanone]

10. K&R

[DURHAM D]

11. She started her career as an assistant to Maurene Dowd.

That alone explains a lot.

[Rebl2]

23. Got that right

[jaxexpat]

32. Another Maureen Dowd school of public peculiarity graduate.

Really a shame how regular education doesn't provide enough character for cable tee vee personalities.

[bucolic_frolic]

12. More than a few climb the ladder and suddenly they're turncoats

Gotta be money or careers involved. World's been explained to them by some gatekeeper.

[IronLionZion]

13. A private photo shoot is just like a violent insurrection, grift, classified documents,

withholding aid to Ukraine, and so much more combined.

Naomi Biden probably has killed more people with her dress. Because they died of heart attacks or something. This is the real danger to democracy.

15. the responses are wonderful.

i can't even like them anymore, but still. the ratio is 999/1000

i do miss the wit and the smarts of twitter users.

16. She's often on MSNBC as guest with Nicole Wallace - will never watch her again. Very disappointed

in her with this false equivalency.

Weddings are for family and friends of the bride and groom and whoever they want to invite - it's not for WH reporters.

[Rebl2]

21. Exactly!

I have never heard of this reporter. If I have seen her, apparently she made no impression on me.

[oregonjen]

26. Which makes me wonder if Nicolle will continue to have her on

I really enjoy Nicolle Wallace. I hope she sees Ashley’s tweet and thinks twice about having her on again.

[iluvtennis]

36. + agree. n/t

[NNadir]

17. This is hardly surprising. There is no "liberal media." Instead we have constant right wing...

...streaming propaganda 24/7, 365.25 days a year.

I noticed this many, many years ago, back when I was stuck in an airport gate waiting for a late plane, listening "liberal" Wolf Blitzer carry on about Saddam Hussein's alleged "Weapons of Mass Destruction."

We will now observe our media focus on Hunter Biden's laptop at the expense of all other issues before Americans, and, in fact, the world.

"But her emails..."

[Aristus]

18. She prefers that President Biden lie shamelessly.

Got it…

[dchill]

19. Odd to risk whatever cred she had over some supercilious...

...butthurt.

[Jimvanhise]

20. WHAT ASHLEY PARKER DIDN'T SAY

She wanted to cover the wedding because the father of the bride is HUNTER BIDEN! What a field day reporters would have had there.

[Rebl2]

24. Bingo!

[Eyeball_Kid]

25. Jeez! Can the Bidens have a few hours of privacy? Leave them the fuck alone!

For just a few hours. But people like Parker want to peak into the underwear drawer to find something... oh... stimulating for the "bored masses"- which really means Parker's boredom. She wordsmithed Trump's criminality for years and now she's miffed that she wasn't able to oogle a wedding ceremony as a privileged media elitist. Which would she shop for: A Chatty Cathy or a Barbie? Come on, Ashley. Grow up.

[sop]

27. Many "journalists" express opinions on Twitter they would never express on their own employers'

media platforms. I've watched Parker on MSNBC shows and read her reporting on WaPo; she's always much more constrained when sharing her views, probably due to whatever journalistic standards still exist on cable news and newspapers. Twitter has no journalistic standards, so corporate media types have license to be more like themselves: critical, cynical and snarky.

[BoomaofBandM]

29. Do not know why she is still considered relevant after mocking Biden for visiting

the graves of his family.

[DURHAM D]

31. Amen

[mcar]

33. And other reporters circled the wagons via Twitter

including the reprehensible Haberman.

This is just embarassing. What a bunch of petty, petulant losers. You know they are pissed because they wanted to shout out questions to Hunter Biden as he walked his daughter down the aisle.

[Deminpenn]

34. Really, Parker just comes off as catty

Not a particularly good look.
