My wife voted for Trump, but has never been vocal about politics. Last night’s production had her screaming at the TV.
Questions she starting asking right from the beginning. Where is the audience? She mentioned normally you see the parties high profile people and senators and congressman watching. She also noticed that is was a one camera shoot. She then searched for videos of other speeches by Presidents in that room. All of them were a three camera shoot, with reactions of the audience. Then she was confused when a reporter asked a question as dopey Joe turned his back on the camera. I then asked her how does she know it wasn’t recorded beforehand. I showed her this site and she is now a lurker.
I love my wife....
You do realize that this style of speech is a pretty common one:

Your example was a hastily thrown together press briefing on the death of Osama bin Laden. Biden’s press briefing was in the making for a couple of weeks.
