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. 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.
How about this?

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.
