´My mistake and I own up to it´ Phoenix reporter reverses course, says White House Press
Daily Mail ^ | 3/20/14 | David Martosko

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney denied on Thursday a television news reporter´s day-old claim that reporters often ´provide the questions to him in advance,´ before his daily briefings, and that he sometimes provides answers on paper before taking the podium. WIthin hours, the Phoenix reporter at the center of a quick-drying controversy admitted she got the whole thing wrong. Phoenix news anchor Catherine Anaya reported Wednesday night on KPHO-TV5 that in an ´off the record´ meeting, Carney had told a handful of local TV reporters that White House correspondents often tell him before daily briefings what they´ll be asking.

My disgronifier translates the subtext as “I want to live, disregard the truth I told yesterday so that I may”

Anaya is one of the main reasons why I don’t watch local news. She’s one of those arrogant “Gotcha” media morons who think she’s some kind of action hero out there “fighting” for “the little people”. A real moron, IMHO.

One wonders, might the reporter have been thinking of Dems, reporters and debate questions, n'est ce pas?

Anyone that ever worked in a newsroom can tell you the editors/publishers...IE someone over the reporter, often ‘develops a special relationship’ with the politician

With the old Journolist site, members of the press were observed colluding on who would ask which questions and which topics to avoid.

Maybe the only way to have a chance at the truth from MSM is to start a fund that sets aside money that is paid to reporters for original documented truthful hard-hitting investigative stories. If they could make 50-100K a pop, for a big story, there might be enough of them climbing over each other trying to find and report on a significant story that it could to some change. Of course, their editors might stop them.

Obama has already directed trillions to fund his "team" of cohorts. The money they have squirreled away will fund campaign cycles for years.

Whether you want to call that money "stimulus", "green energy investment", or "healthcare infrastructure". None of the money was paid out benefited the American taxpayer or created an actual working product.

All residents of the white house do. Just the current idiot fraud in the white house has a teleprompter for his script.

Taxman, Everything in Washington is tightly scripted, just the current idiot fraud in the white house has a teleprompter to tell him what to say because he cant put 2 sentences together. The talkers on the radio are all scripted. Rush has a script, Hannity does and so does Levin. They are all posers!

There is considerable difference between a talk radio host having a script and the entire Ophonybama administration working off of a script.

The talk radio host’s script is designed to inform the listeners about items of interest to the host and/or his/her listening audience.

The Ophonybama script is designed to confuse and misinform Americans; IOW, the Ophonybama LIEberals LIE to achieve their goal of destroying America.

That is the kind of “scripting” I am talking about.

One is benign and informative.

The other is evil and destructive.

I much prefer to be informed!

I never cared for her either when I was in Phoenix. John Hook was my choice for news on a different network.
