heres what makes sense to me. real shitty planning, somebody threw something together that was just a clusterfuck. i see that happen all of the time
FEMA employees last Tuesday posed as reporters at a news conference in Washington about the Southern California wildfires. The briefing was called on short notice and no journalists were on hand when it started.
Instead, FEMA deputy director Harvey Johnson stood before a FEMA camera feeding live images to television networks and took questions from agency employees posing as reporters.
you know how it goes. you have this briefing planned for a few days or a week, you have the cameras there for the live tv feed, feed times all set, the speaker has their taking points ready, then oh shit.
an hour before you realize you forgot to try to get reporters for the conference (maybe there is not a whole lot of excitement about this in reporting circles, they think its a dog/pony show for fema)
you call them, your live on tv in an hour, they dont show up and you have to start with something. some dumbfuck didnt set the phones up to project over the loudspeaker, so its only one way with reporters.
you have to start, so the staff starts making up questions and asking them
