Helen Thomas gets a new gig - works for a free local paper
2011-01-07
The Falls Church (Virginia) News Press has hired Helen Thomas (former UPI badger reporter). She has a weekly column. Her first column opposes Social Security privatization and shows an astounding lack of understanding of the issues as well as egregiously poor writing.

The clueless editor of the Falls Church newspaper interviewed Ms Thomas for 8 hours (God help him) and found no anti semitism, etc. although he seems not to have read her actual writings or heard her statement on Youtube. Given that it is a free paper, it would be pointless to cancel one's subscription - but why not try?
Of course, the editor probably believes it to be in his own interest to act clueless about her contempt for Jews. His paper has never received so much publicity, and I hear that the newspaper racket business is brutal.

Why hasn't the doyenne of disgrace considered setting an example by "going back" to Lebanon, I wonder? Practise what you preach, Hagatha.
