Fake Fema News Conference

Ah... the leftards have found their dirt on the California Wildfires......And it's pretty clean. FEMA held a conference and the "reporters" that asked the questions it turns out were FEMA insiders.

Uh, who the fuck cares? The point of a "news" conference is to convey news. Not grill, not grandstand. It's to get the news out.

"On Tuesday, FEMA held what was called a "news briefing" on the California fires, but the questions asked did not come from reporters. They were asked instead by FEMA staffers.

“It is not a practice that we would employ here at the White House or that we -- we certainly don't condone it,” Press Secretary Dana Perino said. “We didn't know about it beforehand. FEMA has issued an apology, saying that they had an error judgment when they were attempting to get out a lot of information to reporters, who were asking for answers to a variety of questions in regard to the wildfires in California. It's not something I would have condoned. And they, I'm sure, will not do it again.”

One reporter asked Perino who is responsible?

“Well, FEMA is responsible,” she said. “And they have accepted that responsibility, and they issued an apology today. They have admitted that they had an error in judgment. I would agree with that. They've issued an apology. And, you know, you'll have to ask them about why they decided to do that."

Is there no end to the pussification of this administration. Perino should have said,"Look folks, there was a big ass fire. It was bad, people were running for their lives, they wanted to get news out and did. Deal."

It's like the Rush Limbaugh "phony soldiers" thing. It's a non story made to appear as though it were a story with merit. If you look at the questions asked by the "fake reporters" they were good ones.

Lame, next.
