End of an Era - Helen Thomas

The New York Times: Reports on the sad end to the journalist career of the Dame of White House Press Core Helen Thomas. It was sad due to the fact that Ms Thomas made very anti Israeli comments, this blog in nearly all cases has supported Israel with the exception of the row over the use of UK Passports for a hit job, and then it was the how not what the Israel did to get rid of a terrorist, but this blog has not called on Ms Thomas to go, as a Liberal Conservative this blog will defend the right of people to say things that this blog find offensive but it’s a matter of free speech, but you cant be a reporter and make comments that in its heart of hearts the NYT wants as US policy. Lets hope at the end of the day we can look at the career of Ms Thomas in the round, as noted she has reported on every President since JFK and had a part in the process of reporting of Watergate scandal, lets hope that Ms Thomas can come back from this after learning a very important lesson, it’s a British thing of not hitting someone when they are down, unlike PC Liberals.
