Best Answer

During President Herbert Hoover's presidency his press conferences were limited by a number of restrictions. Hoover wanted all press questions sent to his staff in advance of a press conference. He answered only the ones he wanted to and during the conferences, follow up questions were not allowed. In fact, even the questions submitted in advance the president declined to answer, were not allowed to be published. So if Hoover chose not to answer a question submitted in advance concerning unemployments. The newspaper could not publish the unanswered questions.
