So I read, the AP guy ended the press conf??????
Yes, Boak is with the AP, and he is apparently the one chosen by the group who designates that the press is finished asking their questions. It’s a tradition, but obviously today, the front rows got to ask multiple questions and took up all of Psaki’s time. There were still a few minutes left in the 45 minute session to get in a couple of other questions, but Boak ended it early. The bigwigs in the press corps don’t give a ding dong about any of the “little guys” in the room, who are actually their colleagues. They all have jobs to do, even if they don’t perform them as well as I think they should or maybe even could. It will be interesting to see if anything comes of this at all. My guess is, not much will change. Traditions and all that.
