White House struggles with muting function on Iran conference call with reporters

[getagrip_already]

6. sure, most phones have a mute button....

or you can hit a code like *6 if it's just a standard phone.

But that's besides the point. The person in charge of the conference call should have the ability to mute all lines but the admins/moderators. It's sop for concalls, especially with hundreds of listeners.

If you don't know how to do it, the hosting center will assign an operator who will do it for you. In skype it's just a click......

It's called "managing". Otherwise you are just in a circus.

And clearly these guys are. Insulting your invited audience is not a professional response under any circumstances.
