1. But she needs to speak up!

She needs to ask him WHY it makes a difference whether she's smiling or not for him to answer her question, and the other journalists in the room need to back her up. When he moves to another journalist, they need to ask the same question. Make him have a freaking tantrum on live television. He won't be able to contain himself. He would end the conference and walk off.

I know I'm dreaming, but we are actually seeing a few journalists STAND UP against all of this stupid crap, and sooner or later it's going to become clear that the ones NOT standing up are cowards.
