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.

not being funny or sarcastic. everything carney says in those briefings are lies, so to paraphrase our next president, “what difference does it make?”

It most certainly is!

That is why they are LIEberal! The LIE, but to them it is not a lie; it is truth.

Everything LIEberals say is true, didn’t you know that?

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.

“could to some change” = could lead to some change.

On the record, I believe that Catherine told the truth.

On the record, I think Charles Krauthammer was right when he called Jay Carney a paid liar for Obama.

AP: Phoenix. The mutilated body of a Phoenix Television news reporter was found lying on an embankment in Fort Marcy Park today. Her tongue had been cut out. A spokesperson for the Park Police, Craig Livingstone, said it was the worst case of suicide he had seen since Vince Foster shot himself.

Rush nailed this one! Today he predicted that she would retract the whole story, because her career would literally be on the line. He said that she likely had no malicious intent at all, and was innocently reporting on what she was shown for her story.

My mistake—Carney tells them in advance what questions they’ll be asking him.

Carney is too stupid to answer questions that he doesn’t already know are going to be asked. He can’t think quick enough to answer on the fly.

Pretty impressive how quickly she was able to see the light. Extortion and threats can do wonders, no?

If there is one patriotic American left in the N.S.A. they could pull back the curtain on the whole gang by leaking the phone call V.J. made to this reporters Editor.

And we all know the call was made!

Leak it to who? You and me? That’s the only was we would know. Leak it to “the media?” They are in on it. That story goes nowhere.

WE HAVE SEEN THIS MOVIE BEFORE:

About 18 months ago an older male reporter from Missouri local news station KMOV asked Obama about his excessively expensive vacationing and if he understood the suffering of the Amerian people:

They audited him and then his news station FIRED him:

Wonder how long it took - I think Rush gave her ‘til the six o’clock news hour tonight to recant - sounds like he won that wager.....
