Now FEMA has gotten into the television production business. Yesterday they held a press conference about the fires in California. It was shown on Fox News, MSNBC and other stations.
The press was invited. However, no reporters showed up because they were given all of 15 minutes to appear. But, then, you might be curious as to how one has a press conference if the press is not there? By having FEMA staffers portray reporters, silly. You just don't understand 21st century Washington.
Real reporters could have called in on an 800 line. Naturally, they could call in only to listen to the wonders FEMA is performing in California; they could not ask questions. Hey, the show might not have gone as smoothly if someone who did not work for FEMA asked a question. There was a tight production schedule.
Another example of how close we are coming to 1984.
