Helen Thomas: “If Your Mother Told You She Loved You, You’d Check It Out”

This Sunday morning on CBS’s Sunday Morning, correspondent Tracy Smith sits down with veteran White House correspondent Helen Thomas. Thomas tells Smith, “I am a little more courageous in speaking out. But then, I used to work for a wire service. It was, ‘just the facts, ma’am.’ If your mother told you she loved you, you’d check it out. But now, I can express myself and go for broke.”

The Sunday Morning piece is about famous octogenarians, and includes interviews with Hugh Hefner, Norman Lear, Ben Bradlee, and Elaine Stritch.
