So apparently, some in the media are up in arms about Nico Pitney from Huffington Post knowing he'd have an opportunity to ask the president a question at the press conference yesterday.
Steve Benen quotes one pissed off WaPo journalist who used words such as "arranged," "prepackaged," "preplanned," and "planted."
But if this is what 'preplanned' means, then aren't all the 'top' media outlets preplanning as well?
I mean, protocol in the Press Room dictates not only who can ask a question but in what order.
Sounds like preplanning to me.
