CNN.com - CNN Political Ticker FEMA under fire for ‘faking’ news conference «
Topic: Politics and Law 6:40 pm EDT, Oct 26, 2007

FEMA gave real reporters only 15 minutes notice about Tuesday's news conference . But because there was so little advance notice, the agency made available an 800 number so reporters could call in.

And many did, although it was a listen-only arrangement.

On Thursday, FEMA employees had played the part of reporters. Johnson issued a statement Friday, saying that FEMA's goal was "to get information out as soon as possible, and in trying to do so we made an error in judgment."

Wow. Just wow. Set things up for a news conference that the newsies can't get to, then stock the crowd with fake reporters? Didn't we already have that happen with Jeff Gannon?
