It took over 2 years but a few of the most in the tank members of the Obama Media Group are coming up for air. Kool Aid sucker supreme Hellen Thomas will soon be wondering why she’s no longer invited to the White House after questioning The One in a inappropriate manner.
“Nixon didn’t try to do that,” Thomas said. “They couldn’t control (the media). They didn’t try.
“What the hell do they think we are, puppets?” Thomas said. “They’re supposed to stay out of our business. They are our public servants. We pay them.”
Thomas said she was especially concerned about the arrangement between the Obama Administration and a writer from the liberal Huffington Post Web site. The writer was invited by the White House to President Obama’s press conference last week on the understanding that he would ask Obama a question about Iran from among questions that had been sent to him by people in Iran.
“When you call the reporter the night before you know damn well what they are going to ask to control you,” Thomas said.
“I’m not saying there has never been managed news before, but this is carried to fare-thee-well–for the town halls, for the press conferences,” she said. “It’s blatant. They don’t give a damn if you know it or not. They ought to be hanging their heads in shame.”
What does she expect, the media has been barry’s lap dog from day one? He is going to push his position until all the media revolts.
DE,

Caught your note to UW. Thanks, DE.
Not to worry Mary, she’ll never really quit.
thank the gods She’s divorcing Us. that blog is an addiction worse than heroin. is it like this for Trekkies Mary?
you’re a Trekkie, right?
perhaps we can have an annual reuinion & all dress up like cats – that’s if MABUS doesn’t bring the end of days before 2012.
Ah, raGing. An over-the-hill trekkie I am.
MABUS; 12/21/12; Not global warming but a new Ice Age: it’s all rushing together.
Sarah Palin is the anti-obama. She’ll also provide fuel against the coming cold. Maybe she’s meant to save us.
I’m not a trekkie, but I do like UMs blog as I enjoy many others, including this one. One thing that UW will never stand for is bashing other blogs. I hope DE will follow the same guidelines.
Celtic pig Diva has achieved her fundraising goal for the Palin smear campaign. that woman is a nazi.
Geez, its about frickin’ time! Only 2 years late Helen, thanks.
imust,
The only thing the bothers Thomas is that she wasn’t the one who was picked.
That’s because they’re scared shitless to call her. I LOVE that woman! Takes no prisoners. (Bush was afraid of her too. One more comparison to Obama/Bush)
Geez…is Helen only now waking up? She been in a coma or what? Me thinks it’s time for her to retire.
Some in the media might just be waking up…but it’s for our good that they are. The same with some of the people that voted for this huckster sitting in our house..as they wake up we must welcome them back into the real world. Watching the video of Helen and Chip grilling Gibbs..finally..made my heart feel abit lighter. Finally HOPE. I will look for the CHANGE.
Betty,
I agree .
I didn’t like it when the W.H.P.C. laughed at Bush’s insulting humor for 8 years, or when they failed to ask follow-up questions to his arrogant non-answers, but, at this point, I’m willing to give any member of the press who is willing to raise a voice in opposition to the deliberate deceptiveness of Obama, a big thank-you.
woowie! there’s no worse comparison than Nixon. no doubt barry is proud of that compliment.
they prolly put ObamaKGB survailance on her now. Obama don’t play that shit with old ppl. your career is over Helen.
surrender.
Exactly. To say that even Nixon wasn’t as bad as Obama is about the greatest insult the veteran journalist can deliver to the POS-in-Chief.
I hope I’m as ornery as Helen when I’m 88.
She gave Bush hell too. I remember once when there was nothing but a taped off “X” on her seat and she wasn’t allowed into the press briefing. That didn’t go over well and he had to relent and concoct some story.
Heh. They really did give ol’ Gibbs hell. Ya gotta wonder, though, whether Helen realized that she was talking out loud!
LOL, I’m pretty sure when you reach your 80’s it no longer matters if you’re speaking out loud or just thinking it quietly. At some point you get old enough where speaking your mind becomes your prerogative.
That’s me.
Gibbs may not know who Nixon is. He was only 3 yrs old when Nixon resigned.
O’Reilly should issue a full apology for calling Helen a witch & feature her on Pinheads & Patriots -with Gibbs as the pinhead
If it wasn’t for the press insisting that O was the winner, and Hillary was trying to steal what was rightfully his, we wouldn’t be in this mess today. If the press had asked even the tiniest of inquiring questions this man would have been laughed out of public office. You reap what you sew is the saying that fits this purpose. All members of the state run media must not know what shame is, or they would have stopped this bullcrap 2 years ago. Mathews will have the ‘thrill up my leg’ comment in his obit. You can mark my words on that. Shame doesn’t describe what these people should be feeling.
Right on!
All in all Gibbs proved to be pretty incompetent. He couldn’t control the situation and was actually prodding Helen with more questions. He kept asking her “How so?” So Helen told him so!
Looks like Helen Thomas will be put on Obama’s terrorist list and may be receiving a kool aid waterboarding for this holiday weekend.
I’ve always admired Helen Thomas because she speaks her mind and isn’t afraid to treat President’s as they should be treated, like employees to the American people, not royalty.
