Media: The White House is now taking hits for trying to downplay a lavish Halloween party the Obamas threw themselves amid an economic crisis. But what about the reporters who dutifully complied with the cover-up?

In her new book, "The Obamas," New York Times correspondent Jodi Kantor relays a story about how the White House communications staff wanted to keep the 2009 party under wraps.

No wonder. Had the fact that they were holding an extravagant "Alice in Wonderland"-theme party — decorated with the help of director Tim Burton and featuring Johnny Depp in his Mad Hatter costume — at a time of 10% joblessness, it would have caused an outrage.

Subsequent reporting has found that Depp and Burton weren't listed in the White House entry logs, further bolstering the cover-up story.

But if anyone is guilty of a cover-up, it's the White House press corps.

There was, after all, at least one reporter at the party. But as Politico reports, the "dispatches from the party did not mention either Burton or Depp."

SNIP:

That's been true with the Solyndra scandal. It was true when odd goings-on with Obama-backed LightSquared emerged. And let's not forget the Fast and Furious gun-running scandal, which cost one American his life, and in which the head of the Justice Department was caught lying to Congress.

The mainstream press has been so diligent in ignoring Fast and Furious, in fact, that the White House felt comfortable screaming at CBS News investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson for having the temerity to cover it, noting that no other "reasonable" mainstream outlet was doing so.

Jonathan Alter, a 28-year Newsweek veteran, even wrote a column for Bloomberg in which he lauded the White House for being utterly "free of scandal."

When he was pressed about the Halloween party cover-up, White House press secretary Jim Carney lashed out at reporters for being "irresponsible."

He's certainly got that right.

Halloween Party?

No wonder the Lamestream media wants to cover this up. It could bring down the Obama administration. Who needs birthers when you got a decadent Halloween Party?

When that party is paid for by the American Tax payer they have a right to know what their hard earned money is being used for...don't you think?
 
So how much did the Tax payers pay to have Johnny Depp at the White House as the Mad Hatter?

Pictured: Inside the Obamas' secret Alice In Wonderland-themed Halloween party at White House that was kept under wraps for TWO yearsHeld during the depths of the recession, Obamas knew it would be bad PR

Johnny Depp and Tim Burton helped host the event but their names were kept off the visitor logs in an effort to keep the party secret

The first pictures of the infamous Alice in Wonderland Halloween party at the White House emerged today - just hours it was revealed the Obama administration kept the 2009 celebration under wraps for two years.

The pictures will likely add to the embarrassment for the administration as the Obamas have been highly criticized for hosting a lavish Halloween party- with guests like actor Johnny Depp and director Tim Burton- in 2009 at the same time that the country was in the midst of a recession.

The initial news of the party came from a book, written by New York Times journalist Jodi Kantor, which maintains that the reason why it was kept so quiet at the time was because the administration was aware that it would be in poor form for them to host an extravagant party when so many were suffering financially.

^^^^
so true

It's not about one celebration. It's about the ramifications of this kind of media complicity with the "most transparent" administration in history.
 
Oddly enough, the same media decided that Mitt Romney's decision to remodel and expand his house was a three day news event.
 
it never ends with the moochers, their attitude regarding the debt and joblessness never ends,,,its always,,,,ehh,,,F.......K the white working class and unemployed, we iz gonna spend dare money like its growing on trees, weze may az well enjoy stealing tax money while we iz still in day white house!
 
There have been worse cover ups.

Personally, I was so sick of all Obama all the time I would have turned off the TV if they had reported it. So he wants to party with Hollywood types. So did Clinton. It says nothing good about Hollywood types that they want to party with him.

As for worse cover ups, the local media here knew about the Mayor's relations with a 12 year old girl back when I was 12 myself. And the Carter people knew of it too when they appointed him Transportation secretary. And the media knew about the thing when he ran for governor. Didn't say a word.
 
What I want to know is were the Kardashians there?

I'll be pissed IF it was paid for by the taxpayer. If it was paid for by the Obama's privately then I see no reason why this would be my business. They are perfectly at liberty (Damn, I love that word) to spend their own money any way they choose.

Because they knew they were doing something wrong.

What did they do that was 'wrong'? Genuinely, I'm interested. There is nothing to say that it was taxpayers money. If we paid for it, then, yea, that's an issue. But that may not be the case.

I have a very slight issue that the visitors logs do not reflect the attendees of said party, but, again, if it is a private event and they paid for it, I don't know that I'm overly concerned about the lack of official visitors log.
