He's reading for over 50% of the answers!

Are you serious?!  

Someone please try and defend this!

We elected a puppet!  This is proof!

Never at that level, but I have sat in on press briefings. Some asked (not required) to have a couple questions in advance. Personally, I preferred that. 

The point of a pc isn't to make someone look stupid or unprepared. It's not supposed to be a 'gotcha' moment, which is, at least at that level, what it's become. The point of it is to quickly and efficiently disseminate information. That's a lot easier if they have that information beforehand.

There's nothing worse for a reporter working an actual story to need info and not have it available. The second worse thing is not getting to ask your question because some other reporter keeps trying to throw curve balls. 


Edit to add: also, this is what's going to happen if alt media keeps trying to say his stutter is him dropping n-bombs and similar ludicrous crap.
