Question:
What is Helen Thomas doing in the press briefing room?

She seems completely clueless and seems to have a lack of knowledge on many issues. Why do they let this old woman ask these stupid questions?

Has anyone else noticed this? Its like she is not up to date on anything.

She has been part of the Washington press corps since JFK, and has been known as someone who asks the insightful, uncomfortable and provocative questions.



Trust me, she knows a lot more about politics than you do.

Her job, which is more than can be said for the rest of the so called "reporters" we now have. She is the last of a dying breed, and that fact is to the detriment of us all. Not only does she ask the tough questions, she questions the answers, which is what reporters USED to do, which is actually what they are SUPPOSED to do. It is not her that is clueless, it's the rest of you that are. Someday you will wish that you had a real reporter looking out for YOUR best interests, not that of the "eliltes".



"Embedded" "reporters" indeed! Ha Ha HA....



We had Woodward, Bernstein, and yes, Helen Thomas.

They are called journalists.

YOU on the other hand have Rush, O'Reilly and Coulter....

They are called hacks.



YOU are in deep stuff...

Ahhh, the arrogance of... youth? Ignorance?



Helen Thomas should get a medal for the time she has put in that press room. She will always be welcome there. And she may be getting on in years, but she is nobodies fool.

Why don't you educate yourself about her. You obviously know nothing about her. I haven't noticed what she is doing lately but she is an inspiration. She is a test for us all to see what we deserve. How should we be treated when we are her age? You failed miserably.

Helen Thomas is as old as the press briefing room and deserves a spot.



Regardless of whether or not you agree with her questions or politics, she's earned it.



Thankfully Obama has put her back in the front row where she deserves to be after Bush banished her to the back of the room.

If they revoked White House press passes for stupidity, Robert Gibbs would have to go too.

True. She's no Jeff Gannon.

You do mean the Wicked Witch of the East, right?

Her legacy will be to die there.

Damn, that should have been my shovel ready pick for another question yesterday!

Helen Thomas has been around the WH since JFK. She's done more and seen more than most of us on Y!A combined. If she wants to be there, she should damn well be allowed to be there.
