14. As far as being in the way....

I would think there are designated media zones and they are likely in one so they are probably not in the way.

That said, I don't understand why THEY are there personally. They aren't journalists so they are not there to directly gather and report the news themselves. As far as I could tell there is no logical reason they can't be broadcasting from the NY or DC studio and cutting to Jensen and any of the the other actual reporters that were already on site.

Most likely, their presence is about making it possible to insert themselves into the story as demonstrated by Joe's repeated references to his having to live through tornados and hurricanes as a kid.
