Most of the media reporting on the two nominations seemed to agree. Headlines regarding the Carter nomination in the New York Times and the Washington Post commended his shift from the Presidents policies with headlines such as "Defense nominee Carter casts himself as an independent voice." which was in the Washington Post. and in the New York Times. "In Ashton Carter. Nominee for Defense Secretary. a Change in Direction." But on the Lynch nomination. those same newspapers highlighted that she defended the Presidents policies on immigration and surveillance with headlines such as "Lynch Defends Obamas Immigration Action." which was in the New York Times. and from the Huffington Post. "Loretta Lynch Defends Obamas Immigration Actions." Secretary Carter was confirmed with 93 votes. Only five Senators voted against Secretary Carters nomination. That lopsided vote was a reflection of his testimony before the Senate. which demonstrated a willingness to be an independent voice within the administration.
