A: "fireside chats" is a way to connect with the masses after Roosevelt was elected president. On March 1933 and 12, on the last day of Roosevelt's first week as president, he was interviewed by ABC, CBS and * * * in front of the fireplace in the reception room of foreign guests in the White House, and the staff installed loudspeakers beside the fireplace. The president said that he hoped that the speech would be more cordial and get rid of the ostentation and extravagance of officialdom, just like sitting in his own home and both sides talking freely. Harry Butscher, director of the Washington office of CBS, casually said, "In that case, it's called fireside chat." So it was named. Since then, whenever the United States faced major events, Roosevelt used this way to communicate with the American people. This method played the most prominent role when Roosevelt came to power to vigorously promote the first New Deal.
