It was a "press conference". Only problem is the "press" were actually FEMA staffers. Of course the sheeple will probably say "Aw so what. I don't see no stinkin' A-RABS so whats all the fuss about"? http://youtube.com/watch?v=L_8bNJCrmmQ&feature=related Here’s one hideous example of “fake news” which should raise alarm bells with patriotic Americans.
