I have the chance to hear Helen Thomas speak

[More Than A Feeling]

And possibly ask her a question. What should I ask her?

[bear425]

1. Ask her why she never speaks and asks questions

anymore.

on edit: You are really lucky to meet her. I have admired her for ages.

Ask her what the hell we're going to do to survive the next four years.

Also ask: What can we do to reinstate The Fairness Doctrine or does she think it's too late for journalism to redeem itself.

[Occulus]

2. Is the media, as we define it, failing its responsibilities

under the Constitution, insofar as the media is the only apparatus capable of questioning openly the actions of our government?

[potone]

3. Please ask her why the press doesn't put pressure on Bush

to hold more press conferences. they were all over clinton when they thought he wasn't talking to them enough.

[Alpharetta]

6. She's been blackballed.

She never gets called on in press conferences any more.

[Lefty48197]

9. That is a good question: Should we call him President BubbleBoy?

[Alpharetta]

4. Ask what she thinks will reverse the erosion of journalism

"The consolidation of media has marginalized the truth in general and journalism in particular. What do you see as a key for activists to reverse this trend?"

[GreenPartyVoter]

8. Excellent question

5. Cloning

Ask her if she has ever considered cloning herself. We need an army of Helen Thomases!

[Pirate Smile]

7. Ask her how this WH keeps the media in check by denying access

if reporters give the Administration a hard time? What is going on behind the scenes that most of us don't know about?

[housewolf]

10. Ask her what keeps her going

What keeps her going?

Where does she find hope?

Who can carry on after her?

Who she trusts?
