At a White House Press Conference Today, Chip Reid of CBS News persisted in asking White House Press Secretary, Gibbs, about the pre-selection of participants in “Town Hall” meetings both now and during the campaign allowed the Obama campaign and White House to “control” the meetings and message. Reid told Gibbs he had received the information from "his staff".
Gibbs refused to answer and called upon Helen Thomas who then ripped into Gibbs: (From: Breitbart.tv)
“The point is the control from here. We have never had that in the White House. And we have had some control but not this control. I mean I'm amazed, I'm amazed at you people who call for openness and transparency and you have controlled…” You Tube Video Below from C-SPAN
It is apparent, from the questions, that this “revelation” of a “controlled message” has taken even die-hard leftist journalists , such as Thomas, by surprise.
