MSM must be joking

the media is shocked! shocked! that a bush event was pre-planned--'rehearsed', 'staged', 'choreographed', or whatever euphemism the MSM uses.

check out the WH press conference during which Scott McClellan parries with a particularly snippy press corps [terry moran tries to defend helen thomas for not being against the war on terror] about everything from harried miers to the bush-troop teleconference.

the media seems to forget

- murder boards, debate preps [sorry to tell you that 'no jack kennedy' quote may not have been off-the-cuff]
--choreographed!

- cnn telling its guests to get angry
--coached!

- the infamous dateline nbc 'incendiary device'
--now that was staged!

there are too many more instances of coaching, choreographing, staging for the media to feign shock.
