So theyre scrambling. Theyre trying to figure this out as well, chuck. No indication as to whether the president has been briefed on this. Hes about to hold an event with sheriffs. In fact im told he just entered and so well try to get more questions to him about all of this. But this is unprecedented, as you say, the fact we have someone inside sounding the alarm like that. Thats what it is, someone sounding the alarm. The call is coming from inside the house. By the way, i should make a point, no Press Briefing today, no Press Briefing yesterday. How many are we up to how many Press Briefings have we had in the last six weeks . We havent had one in two weeks and we had less this summer. I think then its typical, for the record. So its becoming sort of the diminishing Press Briefing. Now, they would argue, hey, look, you had four different chances to ask the president questions today. That is true, and well take it. But of course shouted questions, yeah. Exactly, exactly. Shouted ques
media yourself and comes from this side of the story-telling world, what do you make of that critique and what should people take from that? yeah, joy, it s something we used to talk about all the time, which is the perils of access journalism. all of the media is gathered outside, and on that last day when they go in and kill 39 people, it is reported that 10 of the hostages of killed by the prisoners. this is in all the major news outlets of the country and that is a story everyone believed, only to find out less than 24 hours later after the medical examiner has looked at the bodies and seen they were all killed by gunshots, and of course none of the prisoners had any guns, that it was a lie. it was the state troopers that killed them. the media failed in that account. you know what has been a success, you, tracy curry, and i m going to embarrass you, but it is your birthday. so i want to wish you a happy
