he was the assistant and director of communications to Vice President of the United States Joe Biden. He also served as Washington Bureau Chief for Time Magazine, a post he held from September 2005 until December 2008, and a regular contributor in the “roundtable” segment of ABC News’ This Week with George Stephanopoulos.

Carney has also worked for CNN (another TIME Warner division) as a special correspondent.
At the time he joined the administration, Carney’s decision raised eyebrows and brought a new round of charges that the press was in the bag for Obama. But Carney told reporters he had accomplished what he hoped in his 20-year career at Time, and that he was looking for new challenges.

FWIW. He's the guy that covered Palin McCain during the campaign for TIME, writing daily hit pieces. He was then awarded by Obama for his great work. Apparently.
