There isn’t too much to say beyond what Helen Thomas says…

After this dust up Thomas went on…

Nixon didn’t try to do that. They couldn’t control [the media]. They didn’t try that. What the hell do they think we are, puppets? They’re supposed to stay out of our business. They are our public servants. We pay them. … 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. It’s blatant. They don’t give a damn if you know it or not. They ought to be hanging their heads in shame.

You know, I never thought I’d say this, but God bless Helen Thomas… She nailed this issue to the cross, and she still has a bit of game left.
