Back from Branson and back to work!

Our most recent poll is now closed.

The poll question was as follows:

"Is it ever proper or professional for a member of the news media to sit with government officials in an official open meeting he/she is ostensibly present to cover and interject himself/herself into the official proceedings and/or joke during the meeting?"

We received 19 votes.  The responses were as follows:

YES - 1 (5%)
NO - 0 (0%)
HELL NO! - 9 (47%)
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO AND IT WAS SHAMEFUL! - 9 (47%)
