It's time the Whitehouse Press Corp wakes up..

It's obvious to most that Huckabell is very adept of changing the subject quickly..
She's able to do this simply by quickly cutting off the questioner and moving on to the next question(Reporter)

Fixing this problem is difficult because the solution (in my opinion) relies on members of the Press following each other up on the questioned they asked.

Of Course the only way this could happen is if the Reporters prepare the this strategy before the Press Conference begins.

We must not continue to allow the Press Secretary to lie and obfuscate every time she takes to the podium!

The press corps mostly don't like one another and besides, they're competitors. They don't act in concert with one another.

I've seen it happen like you describe, a couple of times. I don't know whether it was actually coordinated, or simply everybody really had the same question.

A move like that could get the briefings shut down for a few days. No loss of course; that just leaves a half hour of air time that can be filed with reporting instead of showing Huckster-Bee telling lies.

Maybe autocorrect doing this but I've seen it numerous times.
