Help me understand that FEMA news conference scandal um, thing.

Love the article that states:  If the press doesn't come to your press conference did you really hold a press conference? 

:scratching head:

I know I'm missing some questions here that I should be asking, like. . .if it really was staged, how did it get covered by regular network outlets to begin with?  Say a govt agency up & decides to make their own little interview using only their employees, well then how does it get on TV?

Okay, they're recording; the tape is rolling. . .then where does it go?
 
Once it goes to the station (what station, btw?), the producer(s) would be all, "Who the #$%K are those guys, and where are my field reporters Barry, Larry, and their associate Gary?"

PS, Links would be appreciated as well.

trach, all you need to know is that Chertoff is an incompetent..

..boob of an empty suit, who has a job solely due to the fact that he only plays at closing the border with Mexico.

Which is just what his boss, George W. Bush, wants him to do.

Chertoff just help arrange for criminal invaders residing in New York to obtain IDs that will allow them to drive legally. 

Face it, trach, we've been had.

From what I've heard about

From what I've heard about this, FEMA called local reporters and told them that the press conference would be held in 15 minutes not giving anyone enough time to attend.  My guess is that local reporters got a hold of each other and realized that noone was able to attend.  Then it went to hell.  As if FEMA wasn't worthless enough, they go and do this.
