Helen Thomas

Want to know what the White House press corps thinks of the White House press corps? Glenn Greenwald interviews Helen Thomas:

And then they put me in the back row, which didn't matter. What matters is the question. You get one chance at the barrel with the president. You should not let it slide. I mean, they are public servants, presidents are. We pay them. And they should be accountable.

[Other reporters] are nice to me, but I'm not trying to please my peers. I'm trying to get the information that the American people have to know, they have a right to know everything that affects their lives and that is done in their name.

Greenwald does a little cozying up to the grand dame, but who wouldn't? She's been the one, all this time bringing the outrage.
