CBS' Chip Reid and Helen Thomas double teamed Robert Gibbs today at the daily press briefing on the "tightly controlled" town hall meeting President Obama will hold on health care. Gibbs kept saying lets have this discussion AFTER the meeting. Helen Thomas accused the White House of "controlling the press." She said almost all White House/Obama events are "prepackaged." She accused the White House of not "having any answers."

Well, now it’s clear she’s senile. They’ll have her out of the press corps by Friday at the latest.

Wow! I am simply amazed. And is just me, or is the press starting to get tired of Gibbs avoiding answering tough questions and his condescending tone.
To: ianschwartz

Helen should have said, on camera.....”The President will be answering questions, that he selects, from emails. The public will never know what other questions were asked. He needs to answer questions live and let the public hear the question.” Of course if the media asked the wrong questions, they would never be invited back. It’s all a sham.
