Staged Video Conference

Wow~ "you" mean to tell "me", they rehearse what they are going to talk about???? Holy cow!!!
1) At my place of employ, when an auditor is coming, we are told in advance a list of questions to be ready to answer.
2) Every single TV show you watch (unless live) has a list they go over 'before' the show starts, to include telling the guests what to 'expect'.
3) Newcasters cannot give us the news straight up - they have to read it from a teleprompter. 'You' can do what they do very easily.
This is such a non-story I can't believe it; I suppose the fact they let it be televised is dumb, but it certainly is not out of the norm of day to day operations. Nobody wants to look bad, e.g. the truth is never 'unvarnished' these days. Needs that glossy appearance of being spontaneous, when in fact it is rehearsed. The do get caught on occasion - NBC had a woman reporter shown in a canoe, supposedly paddling in the beg flood in the east... the problem? Two people walked by in obviously ankle deep water... since this was live TV, they got caught, and of course said they were not trying to deceive 'anyone'. Ha ha and on to the next story.
