Sharyl Attkisson, the investigative reported who recently ditched CBS because they are too liberal biased admitted there is a coordination between the White House and reporters.

Sharyl Attkisson, admits coordination between the White House and reporters |
---|
Sharyl Attkisson, the award-winning investigative reporter who recently left CBS News alleging corporate and political pressure, said Friday there’s a level of coordination between the White House and reporters, but largely in the context of a cozy relationship between politicians and the press.
During an interview on Philadelphia radio station WPHT, host Chris Stegal asked Attkisson about Arizona TV reporter Catherine Anaya’s claim that White House press secretary Jay Carney told her that he gets reporters’ questions before his press briefings and that reporters know the answers before Carney verbally answers them in front of cameras. Anaya later walked back her allegation, while Carney denied it.
“There’s that kind of coordination sometimes,” Attkisson said on the radio show. “I wouldn’t be shocked if there’s sometimes more coordination. I don’t think it’s everybody on every briefing, every day. I’m pretty sure it’s not. But I think people would be surprised at the level of cooperation reporters have in general with politicians.”
Reporters covering the White House and other beats frequently call or email about inquiries on various topics to press representatives.
