White House press briefings with Tony Snow are typically dominated by Iraq. Today’s featured something new: YouTube.
Q Tony, what are we to read into the Pentagon opting for “YouTube” as part of its communication?
MR. SNOW: I don’t know. You’ll just have to ask — that was something they announced last week. I don’t know.
Q We’re you part of that –
MR. SNOW: No, but I think it’s a good idea.
Q Why?
MR. SNOW: Because it’s important sometimes to be able to get — it’s important to get images out that are going to portray a fuller picture of what’s going on, on the battlefield.
Q What kind of images would you like to see on “YouTube”?
MR. SNOW: I’d like to see a little bit of everything, wouldn’t you?
Q Is the White House going to use it, too, or are you satisfied with your own web –
MR. SNOW: I don’t know. I don’t — we have no immediate plans for using “YouTube.”
Will tomorrow’s news briefing feature, say, Twitter?
