Government Press Briefings
I always switch off from the briefing when the reporters begin their inane questions. They take it in turn to ask the same questions as previous reporters have asked when the same answers are given plus already included in the briefing. Don’t they listen?
They actually don’t take it in turn. It seems that the loudest voice actually gets to ask the question as they shout out over each other to get the speaker to recognise them.
I think perhaps the Queensland Premier Joh Bjelke-Peterson had the correct idea when he said press briefings were “feeding the chooks”!
