I think the only thing that makes these press conferences different from press conferences, say, 10 to 20 years ago is that they are televised in their entirety.
In the past, you would have either not seen the press conference or just seen a clip of the most relevant answer.
The problem with 24 hour live blanket coverage is that, unlike a newspaper there is less opportunity to edit. I reminds me of the time I was watching CNN in a hotel room and they cut to footage of a dog stuck on an ice flow in the middle of some river. All I could think at the time was, "This is newsworthy? This is important enough to put on a national news channel?"
Those reporters *may*have asked some lame questions but (in my opinion) they are only lame in the context in which you saw them.
