RSSHelen Thomas and Chip Reid Challenge Obama Admin. On ‘Controlled’ Town Hall Meeting
Carolyn Hileman - The Voice | July 2, 2009
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs and the Obama administration found the press corps slightly less friendly than they are used to yesterday, when NBC’s Chip Reid asked why the questions for Wednesday’s town hall on healthcare were being selected beforehand.
Gibbs tried to dodge the issue, and asked for it to be asked after the town hall meeting in question, but then Helen Thomas became involved, saying, “We have never had that in the White House. I’m amazed that you people … call for openness and transparency.”
Reid and Thomas didn’t let up for a second, especially Thomas.
