You stage a press briefing/conference, but don’t get any attendees (hey, it can happen).
So what do you do?
a) Accept it and move on
b) Get your staff to pretend they’re reporters
As the political-truth blog reports:
“With no reporters attending and a FEMA video feed being carried live by some television networks, FEMA press employees posed questions for Johnson that included: “Are you happy with FEMA’s response so far?” Johnson replied that he was “very happy with FEMA’s response so far,” according to Friday’s Post account, which FEMA spokesman Aaron Walker confirmed,Johnson also told the briefing that the agency had the benefit of “good leadership” and other factors, “none of which were present at Katrina.”
Honestly; you couldn’t make this stuff up, could you?
