FEMA sorry for fake news briefing

The Federal Emergency Management Agency's No. 2 official apologized Friday for leading a staged news conference Tuesday in which FEMA employees posed as reporters while real reporters listened on a telephone conference line and were barred from asking questions.

Um, what? What?

I mean, how incredibly hopelessly unbelievably stupid do you have to be to OK this? Oh, the media will never figure this out!

I’m so confused. It’s one thing to be incompetent (which most of the government, including FEMA, is) – it’s a whole different thing to willfully do something so stupid. I’m really at a loss for words, especially since I can’t curse…

FEMA's days are short-lived. They'll be the first agency to get the axe.

They never should have existed in the first place. We have MORE then enough first responders in most areas on the state and local level. The feds need to come in for backup, not as the "primary" force. Much like what's happening in California with the fires and 9/11 in New York.

As far as this kinda crap goes, bureaucracy for the sake of bureaucracy I totally agree with Mr Paul.

FEMA's fake reporters are actually smarter than the real ones.

I've always said we need to cut down bureaucracy. But since you and I are not politicians, it makes more sense to mention an active politician with that viewpoint.
