Of course he needs a chest sheet.. [BLEEP] doesn't even know where the hell he is more than half the time. How else is he supposed to know which reporters to call on and what answers to give. Going off script makes his brain explode.

I have no problem with this per se. Just requires us to pay more attention to, and know more about the motives of, the people writing these scripts.

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.

C'mon man, pre-submitting a question means the tough questions get screened out. The government controlling the Press in such a way is really not something anyone should be ok with.

If only pre-submitted questions are answered, that's bad.  But I would think that sometimes, pre-submitting a question will get you a better answer than just an off-the-cuff response.  But like I said, if the purpose of the question is to test the person answering the question, then pre-submitting defeats that purpose.  

And of course I don't think the press should only ask questions the press secretary hands out to them.  That's ridiculous.  

Are they only taking pre-submitted questions?

If there's no wrong here, then why is the LA Times so adamant in denying it? Why not come out and state their reasons for why they did it?

Gosh if a helpless member of the press was told that they would never get a particular question answered, however would they cope? To whom would they turn? Won't someone think of the helpless reporters?!

I honestly don't know.  Seems the editor and the reporter are not on the same page, maybe, or they just think the public would misunderstand what they are doing.  Which they would.

Agreed regarding public misunderstanding.

I know those jokes are written, of course, for the president, but he was pretty funny at the White House correspondents dinner..
