The White House press corps was so worried about its reputation when veteran reporter Helen Thomas ranted against Jews in 2010 that it quickly moved to discredit her journalistic creds and personally attacked her as crazy in a bid to save itself, according to a new journalism school analysis.
Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly details the efforts by the press corps to shove Thomas out of their club after she told a New York rabbi in a widely distributed video that Israel should "get the hell out of Palestine," and that Jews should "go home" to "Poland, Germany ... and America and everywhere else."

Thomas might have been treated unfairly. They note that at the time of her comments she was an opinion writer, not a straight-up reporter, and hadn't been one for 10 years.Uh huh. Am I to believe that "an opinion writer" (or a talk-radio host) could write "the Jews should go back to Poland" and not expect to get hounded out of town within a week?

Vanity and conceit are what makes this woman go to work everyday since surely her best days have long since passed by.

Helen Thomas is proof of why Arabs want their women to wear head coverings.

In A Tramp Abroad Mark Twain makes a similar point. He recounts seeing two men kissing in the Holy Land and says that such reports are true. He said that human beings must kiss, and no one could kiss the women in the Holy Land. However, growing I knew a Lebanese Catholic family with five daughters from about my age to my age minus 12 and they were all quite attractive.
