Helen Thomas Spars with White House Press Office
Helen Thomas and Chip Reid argued with White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs yesterday about the administration’s efforts to control the press.
Thomas didn’t let it rest there, she told CNS news that the Obama administration has passed Nixon’s in those efforts, “What the hell do they think we are, puppets? They’re supposed to stay out of our business.”

At issue: the Obama press office arranged to have a Huffington Post reporter submit a question to the President based on questions sent to the President from people in Iran.
