What can this correspondent write about Gregory Charles Royal’s recent press conference at the National Press Club (NPC)? Honestly, I thought the Jeff Dufour and Patrick Gavin article in the DC Examiner summed it up perfectly. Entitled A presser on how not to do a presser and dubbed “A Royal Disaster,” the Dufour and Gavin piece marvelously captured the only true usefulness of this event:
“Seasoned Washingtonians are well-versed in the art of the press conference. But have you ever thought about what it is you shouldn’t do at a presser?

Things like:
-Preface your recollections with phrases such as ‘something like this,’ ‘not exactly sure’ and ‘along the lines of.’
-Arrive five minutes late, then take five minutes to charge your camera battery.
-Fail to bring enough copies of your handout for attendees. -Hold your cooing baby while speaking at the podium.
-Pass around your laptop in order to show off a photo.”
However, the Philadelphia Tribune columnist Linn Washington, Jr. apparently thought the actual topic of the conference worth reporting.

I followed the link. Not readable.
