That is actually an improvement.
You've onviously never attended a journalism class at any major university. Reporting the news is out, and has been out for decades. It was replaced by something called "Advocacy Journalism" which is, yep, you guessed it, telling you how, and most importantly what to think, aka "shaping public opinion", aka brainwashing...

OK, enough with the pics. I'm dry-heaving already sheesh.
"The First Lady of the Press.
I dunno about First Lady of The Press, but she certainly
is the First Lady of Ugly.
Heaven=our republican ladies of the press.
Hell=just one glimpse of Thomas, the gasbag
I'm dry-heaving already sheesh.
This post is disturbing.
Good Night...and Good Luck!!! (g CLooney)
has anyone ever noticed you never see Helen Thomas and Ernest Borgnine in the same room at the same time?
Strange....eh?
Whenever, I'm lying, my left eyebrow twitches up and down!
"Furthermore, weve got to find out what terrorism is really about, find out the root causes."
Aaah -- brains AND beauty.
HT: Fear. Lack of courage. You want to keep your job. Maybe some corporate heads are breathing down your neck. Youve got to feed the family and send the kids to college. There might be financial reasons and others, and maybe some reporters genuinely feel they shouldnt raise uncomfortable questions at a time when patriotism is demanded. But our job is to find out the truth. Thats our only job.
VRWCm: Lack of real journalists, which is probably the result of the kind of faculty that pervades all the schools of journalism. We have a bunch of editorial opinion writers parading as journalists. They wouldn't know how to actually research a story if it walked up and bit them in the @$$, so instead they just rant an spew their opinions all over the pages that are supposed to contain news reports. In fact, they are so stupid that they don't understand that when the Fat Lady of Journalism finally stopped calling herself a reporter and admitted that she is an opinion columnist it is only natural that she is in the back of the room rather than on the first row with those who are still pretending to be reporters. That is probably the biggest obstacle getting in the way of good journalism.
LOL!
Is that Raquel Welch or is it Ursella Andress from "Dr. No"?
The Prez is afraid of Helen Thomas? Probably more likely is that GW adheres to the philosophy of 'Never argue with an idiot...'
The president isn't afraid of your questions, Helen. He's afraid of your FACE! What sighted man wouldn't be?
