Presidential press conferences are held in part to encourage and maintain good relations with the press and its readers as well as to explain the president's programs and plans for new programs. Ideally, the press will ask the questions
that the people are asking and so give the president the chance to explain away any objections to his actions and initiatives. There is a saying in show business that all publicity is good publicity and such is at least partially true for the president. If he appears in the news frequently, people tend to think he is doing something and if he can defend his ideas successfully against hostile questioning, even his opponents will tend to give his ideas more respect.
