Horrified But Not Surprised Department: Helen Thomas Collects A Journalism Prize From The PLO

As mentioned before, OS is horrified, but not shocked.



The Jerusalem Post article linked above tells the immediate tale.

OS has other questions, along the lines of:

Didn't any of the Best and Brightest of the Washington/YewNorkCity press corps not have an inkling of this woman's virulently anti-Semitic views?

Wouldn't it be plausible to ask if she had acted as an agent of the PLO over the years, feeding Arafat and company the inside gossip and info from the White House? She was revered, treated with deference, a true insider's insider. She was tiny little lady who was traditionally called upon first at Presidential press conferences, harmless by all appearances.

Until she was 'outed' a couple of years ago, it would have been completely unthinkable to even raise the questions about her in public--wouldn't wish to appear sexist, you know. Or disrespectful to harmless little old ladies.

Why do the press get to ask all the questions of us, and we never get to ask questions of them?

Why do they presume to always occupy some mythical moral high ground, especially if they adhere to the dogma of the Left?

Why?
