Today I’ve got this Issue on my Nationstates (nationstates.net)
Press Gang
Your Minister of the Interior recently held an invitation-only press conference: a three-hour parade of lowball questions such as “What’s your favorite thing about interior design?” and “What color paint do you recommend for my son’s bedroom?” Many of the media outlets that were not invited to the event are less than impressed.
I’ve encountered with 4 choice
1. “This was the most blatant display of corruption I’ve ever seen!” screams Leader Sucks reporter Fleur Roberts, slipping your security guard a bribe to get into your office. “The media’s job is to hold the government accountable, not to cozy up to them for favors! Any reporter who wants access to an official event should get it, and officials should be forced to take questions from everyone in the room!”
2. “The event was invitation-only due to limited seating and my very busy schedule,” asserts your Minister of the Interior, taking a break from casually chatting with the chief editor of The Leader Times. “Who gets to attend press conferences and the like should be up to our discretion, since it’s our decision to hold them in the first place. Maybe we could discuss this further over a drink?”
3. “You’d solve all these problems if you’d just put a little faith in technology,” assures junior IT staffer Lancelot Zimmer, whose historic solution to every IT problem has been ‘try turning it off and on again’. “You should set up a pre-moderated public online text feed for each government official, where only a cherry-picked selection of carefully edited questions get posted. It’ll make these press conferences a thing of the past, and make sure we always have time to prepare our answers.”
4. Dismiss the issue
Option 2. sounds easy so I choose it.
The result saids ‘Press conferences always end with standing ovations and rapturous applause.’
