(CNSNews.com) - Following a testy exchange during today’s briefing with White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, veteran White House correspondent Helen Thomas told CNSNews.com that not even Richard Nixon tried to control the press the way President Obama is trying to control the press.
“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.

Helen, YOU GO GIRL
I ‘heart’ Helen.
And what exactly are you implying Helen Ho-Tep when you said “WE PAY THEM”?
Could the media be awakening from their long sleep? Dare we hope?
Even THAT idiot is starting to understand.
Even THAT idiot is starting to understand.
As far as this goes, you bet!!
They are going to slip some arsenic into her hot toddy
Almost had me. This is Onion.
Now, what is that stopped clock metaphor, again?
What’s the matter, Thomas? You don’t like what’s happening
You idiots in the press worked to destroy President Bush, so you could get your guy, Obama.
Live with it, I don’t care, because you and your kind betrayed the American people.
Nixon controlled the media? That ain’t the way I remember it.
Helen is only in love with that rascal BJ Clinton.
No jungle fever for her, LOL.
Ha!
Sounds like a b grade horror movie. With this press and this pathetic president it's unfortunate we can't just walk out of the theater.
Please.
No pics.
PLEASE! AHHHHHHHH!!!
Helen, you old windbag. You’re getting exactly what you deserve. You aided and abetted this Administration and you personally owe the last one an apology.
Aaaah! It still says that!
These dingbats have probably gotten sick of seeing this abject mediocrity plod his way through one press conference after another by reading off a teleprompter, and they know they are now part of a national joke along with him.
