A
CBS reporter from Arizona reveals that President Obama's press secretary, Jay
Carney, receives questions from the press in advance of his daily press
briefing. In fact, she says, the reporters often receive the answers in advance
of the briefing, too.
According
to the reporter, Jay Carney told her this yesterday at the White House:
"It
was a very busy day. We started here shortly after 8 o'clock with a coffee with
press secretary Jay Carney inside his office in the West Wing," says the
reporter.
"And
this was the off-the-record so we were able to ask him all about some of the
preparation that he does on a regular basis for talking to the press in his
daily press briefings. He showed us a very long list of items that he has to be
well versed on every single day.
"And
then he also mentioned that a lot of times, unless it's something breaking, the
questions that the reporters actually ask -- the correspondents -- they are
provided to him in advance. So then he knows what he's going to be answering
and sometimes those correspondents and reporters also have those answers
printed in front of them, because of course it helps when they're producing
their reports for later on. So that was very interesting."
