Helen Thomas compared to Jeff Gannon... (WTF!?!)

[Rush1184]

While going through the top 10, I clicked the link to Jeff Gannon's site, and from there I found a link to a page where they are trying to say Helen Thompson is the left's version on Jeff Gannon. Ummm, what the fuck?

<snip>
In any case, that's beside the point -- especially since I have a hot, juicy scoop (well, it should be at least as big of a "scoop" as the lefties had with Gannon) . I've found another person who's getting into White House press conferences even though she's not a reporter!

Her name? It's Helen Thomas.

She quit her job as a reporter with UPI back in 2000 and now is a syndicated columnist for Hearst Newspapers. Maybe Gannon was from a minor-league organization, Talon News, but at least he was a reporter which is more than anyone can say for Thomas anymore.

1. huh?

So.. a good, honest reporter who just DOES HER JOB is labeled a reporter for the left?

WTF.

[mom cat]

7. Anyone who tells the truth is a reporter from the left.

13. Living in their bubble distorts their view of the truth

[ET Awful]

2. Is she using a fake name and is she a prostitute?

I didn't think so.

[Crankie Avalon]

3. You mean she's a plant of the Bush Administration's...

...who is only there to lob softball questions that break up the momentum of the occasionally substantive questioning of others, too?

Who knew? Also, we're not going to have to see any hooker photos of her, now, are we?

"mensnewsdaily"??? :wtf:

4. The more I think about this...

The more I believe that these people are delusional.

[shawcomm]

5. Sickening and ridiculous

Helen Thomas shows more reporting skills in one afternoon than prostitute-boy will garner his whole life.

[Rush1184]

6. kick

[Zenlitened]

8. mensnewsdaily.com? What riot! For the longest time, I thought...

... that was a satire site. They make Weekly World News look like the paragaon of sober-minded journalism.

Seriously, when you see mensnewsdaily.com as a source, you've leanrned everything you need to know. Shit-stuffed idiots, all of them.

9. John Hawkins(the author) runs Right Wing News, a conservative blog.

RWN -- Bashing the French before French bashing was cool.

Does it surprise you that this guy isn't part of the "reality based" community?

[devilgrrl]

10. Consider the source.

I feel bad for the hapless morons who go there for their news.

[Toucano]

11. Other major differences

Helen writes her own column, she doesn't fax White House press releases.

Helen has a background in journalism, and an extensive career in journalism. She wasn't painting cars and turning tricks weeks prior to entering the White House briefing room.


Factoid:
Ms. Thomas quit UPI when Reverend Moon bought it.

[Norquist Nemesis]

12. So why wasn't Jeff sitting next to Helen in the back of the room?

These people can't stop whining and crying! The "left" outted our guy and they just can't see how unfair it is!

Well, boo-fucking-hooey!! Talk about "divorced from reality"!!!
