There is nothing about what happened there that was not free. The press are allowed to write what they would like to write about. The fact that there is an article about the fact that it was staged should tell you right there that there is a free press. If it wasn't you wouldn't be reading about it.
The truth is that press conferences have been staged events for years. You should read Daniel Boorstin's The Image: A Guide to Pseudo-events in America, it was written in 1962 and talks at length about this phenomena.
The real issue is that journalists don't do their job nearly well enough.
