The departure in ignominy of Helen Thomas has been commented on below, and I don't have much to add, except how pathetic is this?

abb, a little blurb by Mark Steyn about the decline of the US press that you might ping your list about.

knews_hound, a corner item you may or may not want to ping the Steyn list about.

Steyn made a great point.

How manay controversies has the MSM ignored until its over?

People who read only the NY Times and its clones are missing so many things its incredible.

So, here we all were, doing just fine discussing the finer points of Steyn's article, and you just had to go and jinx the thread.

Helen Thomas was an unreadable and unread columnist, and the only time she generates so much traffic that it crashes the site is the announcement that her career's self-destructed. That tells you a lot about American newspapering right there.

I agree and those same NYT readers THINK they are on the very top of the news of the world and that they know EVERYTHING!
