Managed media...ends-justify-the-

By no means new or unique, of course...although some of the methods may be novel!

Transparency...hope...change..
.(TM)...yeah, right!

that's what happens when leftist shills finally grow a brain - WTG, HELEN!

Beyond what the loons from KOS are doing, how is the left turning on Helen Thomas?

Hagbard, The same loons that put KOS in power? You knew that the founder was a CIA trained and funded by government programs (public funds) to start a new "progressive" blog effort.

I think most "leftists" are proud of Helen and always have been.

I'm starting to like this old hag.

"Hagbard, The same loons that put KOS in power? You knew that the founder was a CIA trained and funded by government programs (public funds) to start a new "progressive" blog effort."

Don't you have a John Birch Society meeting to attend to, nutcase?

Helen can do no wrong...the lefty males think she's hot.

Nulli thinks she's even hotter than his old boyfriend Hugo. And she has't even fucked up an entire country yet.

So where is goatee lecturing us all on the usage of a "Broad Brush" and calling everyone else a "shill" in the process?

Just a continuation of the parade of Principles, I guess!

Nico Pitney's question wasn't a total setup -- Obama didn't know what Iranian's question he would choose -- but I still think it's inappropriate for the White House to set up anything with reporters before presidential press conferences.

The linked blogger here is a piece of work. She calls herself "The Conservative That Liberals Hate to Love"? More like "The Conservative I've Never Heard Of Though I Read a Lot of Blogs."

Wouldn't it be great to have a President that both the far right and the far left were pissed at?

To see Cindy Sheehan on Rush's show complaining about the same guy.

That would be fucking awesome.

Get outta here. I'd love to see a link discussing this.

That said, there's a world of difference between a blog god and the posters who frequent said blog.

(rcade's daily positive affirmation)

When I said loons, I meant the posters, not KOS necessarily.

They be some crazy democrats.

That's what I was thinking.

She's cute though.

But, but the MSM is librul controlled! Don't they have to sign loyalty oaths before they get to ask questions?

The Right

From the KOS linked article on this thread.

Let me explain, Helen Thomas has been very assertive as of late in regards to Obama becoming more like Bush, in fact, she has been pounding this type of behavior since the get go.

Today, however, Helen Thomas stopped being seen as a contrarian and became an Washington Establishment viewer. It began with Chip Reid attacking Obama's town hall as being staged. As Reid was attacking for Republicans (which is usually what he does), all his questions appear to be given to him by republicans, Helen Thomas starts blasting Gibbs on not being transparent EVER.

At that point, I was cheering her on, until she blasted Gibbs on Nico Pitney and my heart sank. She quite clearly said that the WH shouldn't "call people overnight and tell them they might get called on." Being a contrarian, I expected Helen to be the ONE person in the briefing room to actually understand that Nico Pitney was asking a question from an Iranian. In fact, as many have defended, Pitney's question was the TOUGHEST Obama had during his press conference, in fact, he dodged it to everyone's chagrin.

Gosh, you've just got to understand and explain.

It's amazing that the party in power, the Democrats, is NOT considered the establishment party by the lefties. They need to be "rebels." When they hold power, they are charged with doing something positive, and have nobody to criticize and blame. What a predicament.

#9 Null, can't handle the truth? You know what they say, Truth is stranger than fiction...

Exactly which part of the statement that is completely documented fact do you not believe... or you just don't like it?

You don't think Markos Alberto Moulitsas ZIGA (MAMZ) was CIA trained? Or that he got government funding to start a new progressive blog?

Which do you can deny? We can all Google it, dorko!

John Birch, good idea!

But they will manage healthcare fairly, I'm sure. Politics always take a back seat....uh-huh.

Actually I have never been a bigger fan of Ms Thomas than after reading this (except for that bit she did with Colbert). She pretty much nailed it.

Don't they have to sign loyalty oaths before they get to ask questions?

I'm confident she'll make her mark. With blonde sagacity like this --

[Helen Thomas has] been a member of the White House press corpse since Washington was president...
