I wonder if you could say the same thing about a love child between Helen and Mr. Levin.
Chilling letter. Thanks for posting it, Hildy.
How about this?
On July 2, 2009 Thomas, as a member of the media, actually gave the White House some push back. This marks the first time that an American media member has stood up to the regime. Although openness and honesty was their promise, this White House actually scripts the questions that the press can ask. Successful radio host Mark Levin has sarcastically referred to the White House press meetings as "The Obama Show" simply because Robert Gibbs assumes complete control of the discussions, while expecting the media personnel to follow a carefully written script. Hence, Dr. Levin references these Q&A sessions as something of a poorly assembled televion show, with Obama being the primary subject of discussion.
Until now, no member of the press corp has ever questioned this practice. It is believed this is because the press is blinded by their adulation of this President. Popular “tough” questions from the American media for President Obama so far has been, “boxers or briefs?” “How is your new dog?” “Who will win a basketball game?” Real important stuff.
I’m no Helen fan, but Gibbs was obnoxious and condescending to her.
It was already gone, oh well I tried...lol

The man needs a script....He needs to know whats coming... no surprise questions please.
“Nixon didn’t try to do that,” Thomas said. “They couldn’t control (the media). They didn’t try.
Sometimes it takes the very young or the very old to state the obvious truth.
The arrogance of that AH at the podium was spectacular.
same here and good for her- if she could only stand up and shake a bony fist at that TOTAL SLEAZEBALL GIBBS
I love the smell rotting libs in the morning.
Helen Thomas and a coherent thought? - GAS!DannyTN
Good for Helen. Never thought I’d say that.Hoosier-Daddy
I despise that old bat, but she’s finally coming out of her kool-aid induced coma.I totally agree with all of the above... where did this side of her come from?! Is she FINALLY starting to have some common sense?
Wow! Is this the same Helen Thomas? Unbelievable!
Honeymoon over.
That was their underlining hatred of Bush and his administration that it was secret and not forthcoming
Now the Obama administration is doing something far worse, they are treating the media as children trying to pass off openness and transparency while doing nothing of the sort
I give the media another six months of sipping the kool aid before they realize it has been laced with arsenic
Helen Thomas throws a toddler tantrum because SHE and her oh-so-special “press” don’t get to control the town hall, Obama’s handlers are going to do it themselves.
That’s all this is. She’s being petulant because the Mighty Unassailable Media (bow down to them, peons) got taken down a notch by the Obama administration.

I’d pay to see Helen sit on Gibbs’ face....no ,wait.

Oh my!! The picture that brings to mind! LOL!
“It’s a pattern of controlling the press.”
Whoa!....Who stuck the firecracker in Helen’s shorts?.....When did she wake up?
