At first I was thinking censorship but then I thought it might really help carney prepare. What would stop ed Henry from Fox News from asking jay a different question than the ones he submitted? If carney quit calling on him at the press conferences it would only raise red flags. As much as despise this administration I don't think this issue is that big a deal.
But why go on TV? If Carney gets the question in advance and the reporter gets the answer in advance; isn't it all an act after that?

I think the prepared things are just starting points for the discussion. You want Carney reasonably prepared to discuss the things you want answers to. If you start asking questions about Estonia without any pretext, I doubt Carney will have an answer. Why is that useful to the media or to the public?
