FEMA (you know, the organization once headed by "heck of job brownie" during the Katrina incomptence), held a press conference this week to answer questions from the media about the fires in california.
the media was notified 15 minutes before the press conference began, and were only allowed to phone in and listen to the press conference.
now you're probably asking yourself, "ray, if the media weren't allowed to ask questions at the press conference, who was asking the questions?"
well, i'll tell you....FEMA staffers were posing as reporters.
Quote:
It looked real enough for cable networks to briefly air the live event.
"I'll be glad to take some of your questions," Johnson said.
"Are you happy with FEMA's response so far?" one staffer asked.
"I'm very happy with FEMA's response so far," Johnson replied.
