We said this at the time. The WH Press Corps isn't happy about the Liberal Blogs being ushered to the front of the line and treated like the long-term credentialed Corps members
Look at his Gibbs' face when Helen Thomas FIRST says something!

Update: Obama called on people that were supposed to be independent people with Health Issues. Multiple people in "the crowd" that were called on were volunteers for Obama and well known to the Obama Campaign (and administration).

"The point is the control from here. We have never had that in the White House. And we have had some control but not this control. I mean I'm amazed, I'm amazed at you people who call for openness and transparency and you have controlled..." veteran White House reporter Helen Thomas said Wednesday."

Gibbs is showing nothing but contempt for these reporters.

I think there may soon be trouble in the hen house. I never thought I'd agree with anything that came out of Helen's mouth. She was actually lucid. :uhoh:

The first noise Helen Thomas makes (2:46 Mark) - Gibbs is astonished.

The picture on his face when she first joins the fray is priceless.

Helen Thomas: Not Even Nixon Tried to Control the Media Like Obama
Wednesday, July 01, 2009
By Penny Starr and Fred Lucas



(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. The writer was invited by the White House to President Obama’s press conference last week on the understanding that he would ask Obama a question about Iran from among questions that had been sent to him by people in Iran.

“When you call the reporter the night before you know damn well what they are going to ask to control you,” Thomas said.

“I’m not saying there has never been managed news before, but this is carried to fare-thee-well--for the town halls, for the press conferences,” she said. “It’s blatant. They don’t give a damn if you know it or not. They ought to be hanging their heads in shame.”

How about the State Dept.'s lists of foreign Fulbright students at Occidental for the years he was there?

It took a full Six Months and then a grand insult by bringing in Liberal Bloggers and walking them right by the Press Corp to take the first question.

They were insulted and now some truths are escaping their mouths. Gibbs looked at Helen Thomas like - you are on our Payroll, you can't say that. He was really taken aback.

When you see SNL and comedians parodying the Messiah, you'll know they believe he's human. We haven't seen that, and that was a tradition on those shows.

The media wouldn't let Nixon get away with it. They wouldn't let any other republican get away with it either. The press corps has the power. They could derail 0bama anytime they want to but chose not to because they are a bunch of Hopium loving socialists.

No Helen it isn't the White House that should be holding their heads in shame. It is you and every other reporter out there that continues to give 0bama a free pass on everything that should be holding their head in shame.

I still say I'd hire a food taster if I were Helen Thomas! These are not people to be messed with.
