PRESS AND THE WHITE HOUSE

Helen Thomas should know about the press, she covered presidents from Eisenhower to Clinton. If fact, during the days of the Reagan White House she was a key figure in the White House press corps during the Press Conferences. She asked the first and last question. So for her to criticize the press corps means something. She always asked the hard questions. Most presidents really didn't want to answer her questions but she was always like a dog with a bone.
