You have to admit, the media isn't really talking about this at all.
You may want to update your comment to be the American media. American media takes numerous days to tell Americans anything. If you want to know whats happening in the US always look at an international site. How do think most of the links end up on this site? Most are linked outside of the US. You rarely find any linked to a US media site. For example turn to CNN US, its running many of the same stories on cable now for three days.

You mean our US media isn't telling us what is really going on?

Shocking.

Its like 9/11. I got a phone call from Europe from a relative to see if I was OK. I didn't know what they were talking about. My radio was on my desk and the normal news stuff was playing. They told me of the plane crashing into the WTC and I thought they were joking. I ran out to my car and got my portable TV out and there was nothing. It must have been a good 10 minutes that passed when all of a sudden every single station was running the story.

I think she did get help from a makeup artist - one that works at a funeral home.

Helen Thomas is despicable.

What a terrible way to end one's career as one approaches death. To be so old and so filled with evil, as if one had learned nothing from history at all...

In sum, this ugly episode makes her pathetic life seem even more worthless.

Truly sad.

Imagine Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow when they're 80 years old, yikes.

This hurts, from a fellow big lib;

Helen Thomas: Go to the Back of the Room - Swampland - TIME.com

Helen Thomas: Go to the Back of the Room

Her place of honor should be rescinded.

Lanny Davis too;

“If she had asked all blacks to go back to Africa, what would the White House Correspondents Association’s position be as to whether she deserved WhiteHouse press room credentials – much less a privileged honorary seat?” wrote Davis, referring to Thomas’ seat in the middle of the front row at the White House briefing room.

Nine Speakers, the agency that represents Helen Thomas, has dropped her as a client. This comes in the wake of controversial remarks on the Middle East.

I'm not at all surprised there will be hysterics to follow Helen's comments, you have to remember that the entire media is compromised.

Need proof?

Tell me how much you hear in the mainstream media about whats happening in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

Oh, thats right, nothing. Now someone like Helen comes along and says something controversial.

Someone in the MM is playing with fire by saying Palestinians are anything but terrorists.
