No problem with the press reading the questions the Press Secretary hands them to ask? Really? You don't see anything statist about such a thing that would trouble you?

No problem with the press submitting their questions beforehand so that the President can have written responses to them prepared in advance? Really? You don't see anything statist about such a thing that would trouble you?

Damn you swallow the corruption whole hog dont'cha?

It depends on the purpose of the press conference.  If it's to find out something about a particular thing, then pre-submitting a question will get you a better answer.  On the other hand, if it's some kind of test of the President's cognitive ability, then pre-submitting the questions is cheating.  That's just my opinion.
