It's a Pattern of Controlling the Press

Helen Thomas, reporter is 89-years-old and has been covering White House presidents since John F. Kennedy plus she is an ultra-Liberal so when she takes exception at the Obama administration’s relationship with the press, well it’s simply “Shocking!”

In fact shocking is the word that Ms. Thomas used while describing what she and all other White House reporters are experiencing due to the machinations of the Obama White House. (see story)

Ms Thomas told CNS News that the Obama White House, which is self proclaimed as the most open and transparent administration in American history, is in the contrary the most controlling White House since Richard Milhous Nixon. What? No mentioning of George W. Bush?

Will Helen Thomas and her colleagues in media begin to uphold their constitutionally granted mandated authority to report fairly and unbiasedly on the government? Or is the mainstream media just temporally angry that they were slighted because Obama didn’t trust even them to carry the water on his health care agenda?

It would be great if it were the former, but it will more likely be the latter. I did love seeing Helen Thomas giving the press secretary a dressing down, though! It's nice to see that at least one journalist appears to still have some brainwaves that aren't hooked into the BHO motherboard.

More likely they forgot to put out her favorite cookie and this is how the witch repaid them.

I know it’s customary to trash Helen Thomas’ politics and appearance on these threads but, full disclosure, I’ve always been a closet admirer for the simple reason that she continues to get up early every weekday morning, apply make-up, slip into probably uncomfortable shoes and go to work at an age when most of us will be slumping and drooling in “rest” home wheelchairs or dead.

Her politics are, of course, all wrong but I must admire her health and work ethic and, upon seeing this press conference, I had to smile and think, Go Helen!

Obama has been brutally raping the taxpayer since his first day in office, while Helen stood by and smiled triumphantly.

But, watch her wrath explode if she thinks she's personally been mistreated in the slightest.

Suck it up, sea monster. Welcome to the party.
