"What difference does it make?"
In the White House’s latest efforts at transparency, the administration announced to reporters that it would brief reporters on the latest shocking developments about the Benghazi situation … behind closed doors. Politico reports that the meeting started at approximately 12:45 PM ET, and that it moved the normal press briefing to 1:45 PM ET. Jay Carney, White House press secretary, did not comment on whether the meeting took place.
Politico reports:
The off-the-record session was announced to reporters in the wake of an ABC News report
showing that White House and State Dept. officials were involved in
revising the now-discredited CIA talking points about the attack on
Benghazi.
The
administration routinely exerts pressure on reporters it feels are not
kind enough in their coverage. Reporters like Cheryl Attkisson of CBS
News have felt the hand
of their bosses for “wading dangerously close to advocacy” with regard
to Benghazi. No doubt this “off-the-record” meeting was designed to get
all the president’s horses and all the president’s men to put the
Benghazi humpty dumpty together again.
UPDATE: Reporters not invited to the off-the-record briefing are reportedly incredibly unhappy about it:
UPDATE II: Jake Tapper of CNN reports that the regularly scheduled press briefing has been delayed even further:
