CBS, Helen Thomas engage in a little "low-level terrorism"

Chip Reid of CBS and ultra-liberal Helen Thomas engaged in a little "low-level terrorism" during Wednesdays daily White House press briefing when they protested President Obama's upcoming town hall meeting. Reid and Thomas peppered Robert Gibbs over the administrations attempt to control who attended the town hall, and the screening of questions to be asked.

Helen Thomas still wasn't through. After the press briefing concluded she went on to tell CNSNews the following:

“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.”

It's a sad thing when you finally wake up and realize what you just voted into office, isn't it Ms. Thomas?

On another front, it appears that Gibbs is starting to have a hard time getting all the members of the White House press corps to swallow his BS.
