'My
mistake and I own up to it': Phoenix reporter reverses course, says White House
Press Secretary Jay Carney DOESN'T get daily briefing questions in advance
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.
'If
only this were true,' Carney told MailOnline Thursday morning.
By
mid-afternoon Anaya, fresh of a Washington-to-Phoenix flight, walked parts of
her story back in an email to MailOnline. But she insisted that she herself was
asked to submit a question in advance for Carney on Wednesday afternoon.
