Maybe this will bring about a change in NPC policy. Refusing to allow their facilities to be used for press conferences that are potentially slanderous and that have nothing to do with policy or governance might be something they would want to consider.

One of the issues with the NPC, as opposed to your average hotel conference room, is that the NPC provides a direct feed to major news outlets across the country. Even if only two reporters actually show up, every newsroom from Bangor Maine, to San Diego will have the opportunity to watch it.

From their web site:

Webcast, Satellite, Video Production

The National Press Club now offers high-quality high-speed direct cable transmission of live video/audio from every press conference room to news bureaus anywhere.
For events where a camera crew cannot be on-site, news organizations can receive live video/audio feeds from broadcast-quality TV cameras in every meeting room.

Assignment desks will be able to place live-transmission circuit reservations and robotic camera feed orders. Services provided by the NPC Broadcast Operations Center.

All video and audio transmissions in and out of the Club are coordinated by the BOC.

“BARACK OBAMA: I Will Do Whatever It Takes To Be At VA Town-hall Meeting 6-5-08

Posted by Larry Sinclair on Thursday, June 5, 2008

Hello everyone. I am making this short post to let those who know in their hearts that I am telling the truth and am standing for all voters, I will do everything in my power to be at the Obama VA Town-hall meeting later today June 5, 2008.

It is your choice if you want to help me get to that meeting. I think by now everyone here knows how to go about helping. I will be going if I can afford it and I will be seeking PRESS credentials for it as well.

Let Sinclair Media do what MSNBC and CNN and all the other media do not have the guts to do.”
