Watchdogs of Democracy? is Washington Press Corps member Helen Thomas' assessment of current White House coverage. Ms. Thomas has covered the last nine presidents and during her presentation she details the ways several of them attempted to spin the news during their administrations. Ms. Thomas blames the corporate consolidation of media outlets for what she describes as the 'incredible lack of courage' among today's White House reporters. This event was hosted by Olsson's Books and Records in Washington, DC.
