Who should get the Helen Thomas seat at the press briefings?

[oberliner]

Fox has been lobbying to get that coveted center seat, and obviously we hope that does not happen.

But which outlet do folks think deserve that position?

I know NPR is lobbying for it also.

Would they be the best choice?

13. Hi.

That's funny that we had the same thought at the same time.

I almost NEVER have thoughts anymore. I find it's best that way. :loveya:

[scarletwoman]

16. It's no doubt due to our mind meld during the DUzy days.

I still have plenty of thoughts, I just don't see much point in writing them out anymore.

It's really a treat to see you back online again, been a long time. Hope you are well.

19. Some good, some bad.

I've been brooding and fretting today because, well, chicks dig it.

[scarletwoman]

20. OMG! You've become a bird!

:wow:

[Kurovski]

21. A cock, to be exact.

Yeah, I thought you knew.

11. Rachel Maddow n/t

[BrklynLiberal]

24. I second that!!!

[political_Dem]

26. No one. Today's journalists aren't fit to take that coveted seat.

Let that empty seat give the message that today's reporters aren't fit to cover kitty litter.

And that's pretty low.

The media of today aren't worthy to follow in the footsteps of those before them.

The EMPTY SEAT should be FRONT and CENTER...with Her Name on it...

30. I'd last 2 minutes and 33 seconds in the Press Room.

As soon as I point to the Fox News guy and say, "What's this wanker doing here?" I'd be out of there. :)

[Kurovski]

31. Good enough for me.

FORKBOY!

33. Helen's seat is like Babe Ruth's #3 with the Yankees

If she can't sit in it, no one should.

But if someone must, NPR is the only choice

I did. :)

Should the front row center seat in the White House press briefing room go to FOX News or NPR?
