When women reach that quality of beauty, I wonder why they even wear makeup!
That leaves Helen out of being called a journalist then because what she writes is opinion not facts.
Dear Helen Thomas:
Not only are you stupid, but you are also, no doubt, ugly. I would venture to say that you are so ugly, both in mind, soul and outward appearance as to be revolting to the sight. Gut-wrenching, barf-bag filling, hang-a-pork-chop-around-your-neck-to-get-the-dog-to-play-with-you ugly. Mind-numbingly ugly. So ugly that you could look the medusa square in the eye and turn HER into stone. Naw, I bet you're even uglier than that. So ugly that in comparison to your visage, a bucket-full of penguine crap would be regarded as an artful masterpiece. Monumentally ugly. So ugly that If I had to look directly at you, my autonomic reflexes would cause me to soil my drawers. Worse - if your dead, decrepid corpse was fed into a tree-chipper, the chipper would malfunction and barf out tree-chipper teeth. Black-holes would refuse to alow you past their event-horizon for fear of contamination. THAT's how UGLY you are.
YYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKK!
Man that puts the ug in ugly, goodbye lunch.
That definition would depopulate every MSM newsroom in America.
HURL...cough...cough...sputter...HURL...
Helen Thomas was a propagandist, a flack for the Clinton White House.
This whole Gannon thing is surreal.
The left went after his scalp not because he was biased, but because he was conservatively biased.
They couldn't bring him down because of that, as quoting an average press conference in full was damning counter evidence, so they invaded his "right to privacy" and gay-baited him.
Unbelievable.
"real" journalists are nuetral.
What a f'in joke.
If you post pictures you should (Barf alert).
Sea Hag: WAH, WAH, I'm important! Slick Willie loved me! He snapped my thong, dammit! Who cares if I look like my face was on fire and it was put out with a screwdriver!
Helen Thomas has had her tiny head up her huge As* for so long, she no longer has any idea which way is up.
Hey, why don't we stick to the issue. What Helen Thomas looks like is beside the point. At least she didn't try to turn herself into some botoxed, facelifted Frankenstein. She may not be today's definition of beauty but then no one is naturally anymore.
As to the issue, she is wrong about journalists. By any definition she presents, 99% if not 100% of the MSM flunk. Whatever happened to the liberal notion that truth is a personal thing and not a standard by which we can judge others?
I have a bachelor's degree in journalism and I warn't never taught about ethics and searches for truth. In fact I was studying journalism during the sea change of the Nixon resignation when journalists went from reporters of fact to king-breakers. Suddenly everyone who came into journalism was a crusader out to take on the "establishment".
Helen is totally out to lunch when she assumes that "real journalists" only pursue the truth and do everything they can to stay neutral. None that I ever met tried to meet that standard and as I read and listen to the news today, I can't find anyone who also does so. In fact, it is literally impossible not to impose your own notions onto what you see and hear and pursue in the news.
As to accountability, bloggers also have accountability. If readers sense they are out to lunch, the readership goes down. So Helen is wrong there also. It isn't necessary to attack Ms. Thomas' appearance when she is so wrong already on substance. I believe bloggers have as much claim to be journalists as so-called "real journalists" and the only issue on access to the White House should be readership or impact not whether it is broadcast, print or blogging.
