Philbin came under fire last week after he put together a short-notice, televised news conference at FEMA headquarters regarding the southern California wildfires. Members of the press couldn't participate in the event, but could listen through a call-in number. No journalists were physically present at the event featuring FEMA deputy administrator Vice Adm. Harvey Johnson.

Questions ended up being asked by FEMA employees — including Philbin — who posed as reporters.
Working press panned the news conference for its soft-ball questions, which included: "Are you happy with FEMA's response so far?"
