President Obama held a town hall event in order to “sell his health care message to the public” during Congress’s July 4th recess. However, worried that the President cannot answer tough questions about his plan for health care reform, White House officials carefully screened each member of the audience in attendance and each question asked. This time, the mainstream media took note, even grilling White House spokesperson Robert Gibbs on the choreographed spectacle. In fact, veteran White House correspondent Helen Thomas, not known as a conservative sympathizer, even lamented: “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 d–n if you know it or not. They ought to be hanging their heads in shame.” She added: “What the h-ll do they think we are, puppets?”
The answer Helen is “Yes! Yes they do think you of the MSM are all puppets. And why should they not since you were all acting as nice little dummy puppets all during the presidential campaign and up to the present moment. And now you say, “It’s blatant. They don’t give a d–n if you know it or not.” You are just now catching on to this fact? Obama and his lap dogs in Congress have been laughing in your faces from day one as you treated him as the Chosen One and some even refered to him as “a God”. Maybe now some of you will get back to being journalist and the watch dogs of government. BB
