Press Conference Pecking Order

drew · Mar 17, 2020

Seems that at every press conference I've seen there is a specific pecking order when it gets to questions:-

BBC
Sky
ITV
Daily Mail

Then a free for all normally led by the Times or Telegraph.

Beach Hut · Mar 17, 2020

Yes but why can't we see Laura

Fvckwit questions from Sky

Boris being told off for telling a joke

KZNSeagull · Mar 17, 2020

I thought they were supposed to be avoiding gatherings of large amounts of people in small spaces? :smile:

Harry Wilson's tackle · Mar 17, 2020

Boris is busking.

In these very difficult times we are intent on doing whatever is necessary, and we will follow the best possible scientific advice and we will beat it.

Any fat bluffer can say that.

To be fair, that's about right in terms of credibility. As the tax payers are supporting the BBC it is only right they take the lead on this.

Sky first today. Laura must be elsewhere.

True, but to be fair to him he has handled this whole thing a lot better than I ever thought possible.
Just glad it’s not me having to coordinate this shitfest.

From the ever miserable Beth Rigby. Going by her drone, a relation of Rigsby?

Not quite bang on!

It was like lottery balls coming out.

**** me! Someone has at last asked a Brexit question. Well, the virus didn't keep that down for long.

I think he has been awful handling it.

Some of the answers he is giving have little to do with the he questions.

And All this "eh eh" "um um" "ah ah" "oh oh" slotted on between every two or three words is absolutely embarrassing

This is the Leader of our Nation. Someone that we think has the intelligence to lead the country.

Look at the clear and concise language used by the Advisors flanking him each day. If they can speak in a clear concise and correct manner then surely someone at the head of our country. Surely it is not a lot to ask for him to be able to speak properly ?

I've heard Boris posts on here so obviously read the thread and thought he needed to buck the trend!!!

If he does I would imagine I already have him on ignore.

I'm listening to music right now so if anything interesting is said would someone please post it on here? Oh hang on, Mrs T has a news feed on her phone and she says the schools are shutting on Friday. I have a feeling we will have a house full of nine year old's next week, given that I am working at home, and Mrs T works from home. Best I set up an office in the shed tomorrow, methinks

Might it be that BBC have more viewers and the apparent pecking order might reflect the likely size of the audience. I assume you are having a dig with your mention of those papers, but during BJ's press conference today, The Guardian was very high up!
