Raw StoryCHICAGO — There's a golden rule for Democratic National Convention personnel tending the official press filing centers this week: leave the media luminaries alone. “It’s easy to get star struck," a convention official who introduced himself as "Tom" said Sunday as he toured a couple dozen excited press logistics volunteers through the Chicago Bulls practice facility, which is doubling this week as a makeshift office for journalists. Press logistics volunteers for the Democratic National Convention receive pre-convention instructions during a tour of the Chicago Bulls' basketball training facility, which is doubling as a media filing center. But Tapper, who hosts weekday program "The Lead with Jake Tapper" and co-hosts Sunday public affairs show "State of the Union," indicated he won't be reporting from Chicago from some ivory television tower.
