◼ Earthquake: Did Carney Presser End MSM Monolith? - David Steinberg/PJM Media
The most notable takeaway from Jay Carney’s incomprehensible Friday appearance had little to do with his Klingon grammar.

◼ Carney Scrubs His Way Through Another Press Briefing - Bryan Preston/PJM Media
(Yesterday) afternoon’s White House press briefing was extraordinary. Spokesman Jay Carney stood by his now thoroughly discredited claim that the White House made just one “stylistic” edit to the Benghazi talking points. He invoked the name of Mitt Romney twice, and the “previous administration” once, the latter in connection with the IRS’ apology to conservative groups for targeting them during an election year. For the most part, Carney danced around the press corps despite the fact that many in the room were unhappy to have been left out of the afternoon’s off-the-record or “deep background” meeting with select but as yet unnamed members of the media. Carney was more prepared for the sparring match than his opposites were.
