Today's Media Avoidance Maneuver

NASA Administrator Bolden’s Statement On Today’s International Space Summit
“NASA Administrator Charles Bolden issued the following statement after participating in today’s Head of Space Agencies Summit in Washington: “This year, the International Academy of Astronautics is marking the 50th anniversary of its founding in Stockholm, Sweden. I congratulate the academy for its dedication during the past five decades in bringing the world’s experts together to discuss and promote space research and exploration. I also want to congratulate the academy on supporting today’s Heads of Space Agencies Summit.”
Keith’s note: Once again, Charlie Bolden used NASA’s new Transporter to beam in and out of a meeting without any contact with the media. No media advisory in advance of Bolden’s participation. No opportunity for media to ask him questions. Just a prepared statement written by someone at NASA PAO. Yet Bolden is just fine with talking to college newspapers at commencement ceremonies or giving comments to hand-picked media at Orbital’s event last week. The strategy does seem to be working thought: we haven’t heard any verbal gaffs lately.
