Sharyl Attkisson, the investigative reporter who left CBS News earlier this year reportedly because of her frustrations with the network's perceived liberal bias, said Friday that the new face of the White House's press team stifled her efforts to get more information about the 2012 attack in Benghazi.
Almost immediately after President Obama announced that Josh Earnest would replace Jay Carney as White House press secretary, Attkisson reacted to the news on Twitter.

"I am who the media says I am. I say what they say I say. I become who they say I've become."—Barack Obama, The Audacity of Hope, 2006.
"Let me say it as simply as I can: Transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency."—Barack Obama, 2009.
Which Barack Obama is telling the truth here? Writing as a U.S. senator from Illinois, Obama laments that there will always be a barrier—the independent media—between him and the people he serves. As a public figure, his identity will be created by reporters and critics that he cannot control, distorted by the lenses of photographers who don't answer directly to him.

'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.

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."
