Video: Obama Team Smacked Down For Controlling the Press…

Bravo to Helen Thomas and Chip Reid! Wow, I never thought I’d ever say that! Chip really takes them to task on how the pre-screened questions and plants make for a controlled press. Helen has his back. If she had any credibility this would b…

Helen Thomas is a hose bag. She wouldn’t have said anything if it wasn’t for the guy there asking the hard questions. This guy Gibbs is such a tool. I would feel sorry for him in the that job if he hadn’t simply swallowed the Kool Aid.

“What the hell do they think we are, puppets?” Thomas said.

Yes, they do. Why wouldn’t they?

“They’re supposed to stay out of our business.

They came for the bankers and I didn’t say anything because I wasn’t a banker. Then they came for the auto makers and…you get the picture.

They are our public servants.

They don’t think so. Not since you and the other useful idiots in the media elevated The One to divine status.

We pay them.

Oh, NOW you’re worried about taxpayer money.

“Nixon didn’t try to do that,” Thomas said. “They couldn’t control (the media). They didn’t try.

They didn’t because they couldn’t. Nor could Reagan or the Bushes. The Obamunists do it because they can. You let them.

It looks like the monster you created is turning on you, Helen. Why you’re surprised is anyone’s guess.

How can the Press claim to defend our freedom when questions are screened beforehand? How can we be assured that our elected officials can think when they already know and have prepared answers?

HuffPo, you get to ask a question about Iran

Washington Post, tomorrow you can ask about healthcare

LA Times, you can ask about energy policy

…oh, but as Allahpundit pointed out, they’re not told exactly what questions to ask.

Just exactly how much contempt do you Conservatives have for Democracy and freedom? It seems to be more than I thought.
