Transparency and Openess – Or Not
Leading up to the 4th of July and the power of the state over the press and the people, the following exchange between Helen Thomas and Press Secretary Gibbs is insightful and disturbing.
Thomas: “How so? By calling reporters the night before to tell them they’re going to be called on. That is shocking.”
Gibbs: “We had this discussion ad nauseam and—”
Thomas: “Of course you would, because you don’t have any answers.”
Gibss has had a very difficult time answering most and all questions posed to him. Lets hope that this trend doesn’t continue.
