Helen Thomas and the Free Press

Helen Thomas says “Nixon didn’t try to do that,” Thomas said. “They couldn’t control (the media). They didn’t try. “What the hell do they think we are, puppets? … They’re supposed to stay out of our business. They are our public servants. We pay them. … It’s blatant. They don’t give a damn if you know it or not. They ought to be hanging their heads in shame.”
