Monday, October 29th, 2007 -- FEMA Admits It Held Fake Press Conference about California Wildfires; FEMA Staffers Posed as Journalists

On Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007, FEMA staged a fake press conference with agency staffers posing as news reporters. One FEMA staffer who pretended to be a journalist has since been promoted to become head of public affairs at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

The Department of Homeland Security acknowledged Friday, October 26th, 2007 that the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, had staged a fake press conference Tuesday with agency staffers posing as news reporters. Their acknowledgement, as well as an apology from FEMA officials, followed a Washington Post report that exposed the staged event. FEMA had only given reporters 15 minutes notice for Tuesday's press conference. A toll-free telephone line allowed reporters to listen to the proceedings, but not to pose any questions.

Amy Goodman interviewed Diane Farsetta, senior researcher at the Madison, Wisconsin-based Center for Media and Democracy. She coordinates the center's "No Fake News" campaign.

  • @bobdiver7 FEMA IS THE MOST EVIL AGENCY WE KNOW OF AT THIS TIME BESIDES THE UNITED NATIONS!

  • Not might! Absolutley is, and one day there sins will find them! Praise be to God!

  • Is FEMA US government agency? Or jsut BANKS (Jewish banks) owned private company like as IRS or Federal Reserve???

  • Because they are doing exactly what they are suppose to be doing. Their entire purpose is to lie.

  • Not quite. The CIA abducts, traffics and sacrifices children.

    But I'm sure they're good mates...

  • FEMA might be the most evil governmental agency.

  • Freudian slip. and the wight house condones it.

  • how come nobody punishes them? i would thought those involved would be sacked, or asked to resigned. which person/department oversees FEMA?

  • And also thanks for posting! This is just the ammo we need!

  • I still believe it was almost all arson! Too coincidental all the stuff going on this summer! I saw planes going crazy with chem just a couple hours before the lightening storms! Wow and after Arnold tried to spray Californians with untested biochemicals I guess I shouldn't be surprised about this! Arnold is a traitor and should be be dealt with as such!
