Staged News Conference Flare-Up

PRNewser has been following the case of the staged FEMA news conference last week during the California wildfires. PRNewser’s Jason Chupick obtained two emails, including an all-staff memo from FEMA director David Paulison.

Paulison writes, “Without intending to deceive, they nevertheless lost perspective of the core imperative that they preserve the credibility of our agency and proceeded to make a series of serious mistakes and extremely poor decisions.”
