Vance opens with a note to himself reminding him to take questions from CNN and Politico, looks around the room, finds nobody, then moves on. Oz laughs like it's the funniest thing that's ever happened. This is what passes for media strategy now. Vance gets to perform "look, I was ready to be fair to the mainstream press" while actually dodging every outlet he's supposed to avoid. The press gets humiliated. Everyone wins except the actual job of journalism.
