Over the past year, with the Russia investigation taking up most of the oxygen in the political news world, you may have heard the name Sara Carter bandied about. So, of course, the question arises — who exactly is Sara Carter. Before becoming a nightly fixture on Hannity, she had built up a very solid resume of reporting, largely for right-leaning media outlets. After beginning her career with the Los Angeles News Group, Carter spent a few years with both the Washington Times and Washington Examiner as a national security correspondent, spending much of her time in the Middle East. She followed that up with a two-year stint at TheBlaze, where she served as a host of the docuseries For The Record and worked as a reporter. Much of her work there focused on national security and terrorism. It was her time writing at Sinclair-owned Circa News, however, that really pushed her into the cable news spotlight, at least among conservative media consumers.

During a panel discussion that included Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett and Rep. Neither typically appears on the programs Fox News considers hard news. Why is she being confined to only appearing on opinion shows like Hannity. Does this imply that there is little editorial oversight of her reporting. One would think that if someone with close ties to a Fox News program is breaking such hard-hitting stories, it would be natural to feature her on their news programs. In response to a series of questions from Mediaite, Carter defended her sourcing and overall reporting methodology — noting that she works with an editor on the stories posted to her site. So, how should we look at Carter and her reporting. Is she maybe a bit of both. Sara Carter is definitely filling a role for an audience that is ready and waiting every night.
