I haven’t been to a press conference in person, much less one run by a government agency. Do they really have guards (assuming it isn’t the President talking)? The speaker has certainly set a restrictive, question-killing mood, as such persons must always attempt.
Will Mark and Happy try to sneak in a question, such as “And speaking of trains, what about that chemical spill from the train car and the dead fish?” How is Mark going to show his photographic evidence on a smartphone?

Ohio has a collection of East Palestine press conference videos.

They’re pretty casual, as befits a HS gym.

For some reason, the host site (here or there) prohibits the video from being accessed. I believe the link works, however.

While I’m in moderation for links, I’ll note that at the actual press conference there were 8 people standing in the background, looking like firemen & construction workers ready for breakfast at Denny’s.

Yes, having a deputation of various officials and supporters surrounding the speaker is common in press conferences. I should have noted that. Of course, Rivera is giving a totally different impression here. Thanks, Downpuppy.
