Peck·sniff·i·an adj. Hypocritically benevolent; sanctimonious. Is it my imagination or is Robert Gibbs now so out-front arrogant and condescending that even the whores of the White House Press Corps are beginning to feel insulted every time he opens his mouth? More and more Gibbs, as can certainly be seen here, is proving to be the very model of that modern Obama apparatchik; a model updated for our...

Not news , of course, but occasionally I feel obliged to reiterate that if I live to have one-tenth of her integrity, tenacity, and perspicacity, I will consider my life a success. Here's Helen, jumping in to assist CBS' Chip Reid, going after White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs over the hypocrisy of the "open and transparent" Obama administration engaging in staged press events and tightly-controlled...

I did a quick post about this yesterday, here’s the video. CNS News caught up with Helen Thomas after the meeting (via Townhall) and she had more to say on the subject of President Obama’s handling of the press. “Nixon didn’t try to do that,” Thomas said. “They couldn’t control (the media). They didn’t try.” “What the hell [...]

It seems as if the press is getting quite upset at the Obama Administration and their control of the media. There was a heated exchange involving CBS”s Chip Reid and Helen Thomas with White House Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs, over the pre-planned media events. What happened to Obama’s “transparency” talk? Read more and see video [...]

Lookee what Vanderleun found! The White House selling a line even the White House Press Corps can't buy --namely, that a forum in which the audience and questions are pre-selected counts as a "town hall." About two minutes in good ol' HT gets rolling.

Robert Gibbs is such a smug ass that he makes Helen Thomas look charming. Looks like there are two more journalists not being invited to the next “Town Hall” meeting.

Print reporters in DC complained today that Obama is slighting their Very Serious Reporting by talking to TV journalists and diminishing their Very Important Role by speaking to bloggers. Of course, that's what Obama has been doing since he started running for the office. In fact, Obama's communication strategy has always been to find a way around the Village filter. This is nothing new, but now the...

Allahpundit's stated purpose for posting this video on Hot Air was to show how the press is getting a little cranky about Obama's, shall we say, Chavezian, control of the press. The One's Healthcare townhall today will have preselected questioners and questions and participation is by invitation only. Outside of Stepford, Connecticut , there is no town in America that would ever have a townhall meeting...

Ain’t the world just a funny place? After writing about Helen Thomas (which has not left me unaffected, readers) in a less than complimentary manner last week, she now goes and does something not entirely brainless for the first time in living memory. Alongside Chip Reid, she double-teams Robert Gibbs over the administration’s habit of fixing supposedly [...]

Can't believe it's happening, but Helen Thomas' approval rating with me just went up one decimal point: If the liberal press smells blood- and I thin k b l o o d i s in the air as time wears on- they will jump at the shark-bait and attack.

HOLY SHIT, I don't like Helen Thomas or Chip Reid much, but they just absolutely bitch slap Gibbs and Obama's faux transparency. This is a MAJOR breakthrough, it means the media is starting to see Obama and his henchmen for what they are. This clip is incredible.

More evidence that people are starting to sober up from their Obama haze, even octogenarian Helen Thomas is asking about the staged nature of Obama’s town halls and pointing out the lack of transparency from an administration that campaigned on a foundation of transparency. Ms. Thomas, in case you need reminded, has a history [...]

Just How Fake Can These 'Townhall' Meetings Get? Posted By Bobby Eberle On July 2, 2009 at 6:54 am You may have missed it, but on Wednesday, Barack Obama held yet another so-called townhall meeting. This one was to discuss his health care plans and use the new tools of "social media" to do it. Although surrounded by a live audience, the main focus of the event was to reach people using the White House...

Teleprompter of the United States held a vote on Facebook for ScroTUS. Nominees included Tiny Tim Geithner and Rahm Emmanuel, but the winner, hands down was Robert "Giggles" Gibbs, thanks to his sterling performance in this press conference. That strange sensation you have while you're watching this is the feeling of being entirely on Helen Thomas's side. Kudos also to Chip Ried. He wouldn't have been...
