| Faked wildfires briefing costs US official his job
A US administration official has been left without a job after a fake press conference staged in response to the California wildfires. John Philbin, who was chief of public relations for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema), held a televised news briefing last Tuesday at which questions were posed by junior agency staff, rather than journalists. He had been due to take over as media chief for the US's top intelligence official yesterday, but he has lost his new job before even taking office, the New York Times reported. Reporters had been invited to the Fema press conference, but they were given just 15 minutes' notice and could only access the meeting by a telephone line, which allowed them to listen in but not ask questions. .
