MSNBC brownshirt Randy Meier continues the swiftboating of Helen Thomas


Ten minutes ago on MSNBC's morning show, a live interview with Helen.

Live TV, no URL...hopefully someone captured the clip.

Meier picked up on yesterday's "she's been doing this for quite a while" talking point (confronting U.S. presidents).

Told Thomas that "it seems you are implying that the president had some sinister motive for taking us into Iraq...what IS it that you were trying to find out?" (She said "why we went into Iraq, why we are killing people and being killed...and he DID NOT ANSWER the question.)

Asked if she thought that she was "disrespectful" yesterday (She said "NO")...

Asked if she thought that the press has "singled out" this administration for "unfair treatment" (She said "NO")...

Meier's attempt to demonize Thomas FAILED...she did not BUDGE.

She spoke the truth.. powerfully... and boldly...
brushing aside Randy's canned reichwing attack points
like the garbage that they are.

The president is a liar and crook.. and once again he proved it yesterday.

And Helen Thomas may just be the last real journalist in the land.

2. Blitzer tried this yesterday
But eventually got pulled into a perfect KO by Helen when she said, "You ask some tough questions too. I remember you asking President Clinton why he doesn't resign."

Wolf shut up immediately after that. Turns out people in the press actually did ask tough questions of a President once... back when the questions revolved around trivial matters such as oral sex.

3. Kudo's to Helen
She NAILED Leslie on that one!

Way to go Helen! Keep leading the way for responsible journalism and maybe your bought and paid for corporate shilling colleagues will sprout some 'nads!
