Because letting any average, uncredentialed American sound off on the issues of the day is “dangerous.”

Q: Do you think technology is changing [journalism]? That a good reporter will always find a venue because there are so many media outlets now?
Thomas: No, but I do think it is kind of sad when everybody who owns a laptop thinks they’re a journalist and doesn’t understand the ethics. We do have to have some sense of what’s right and wrong in this job. Of how far we can go. We don’t make accusations without absolute proof. We’re not prosecutors. We don’t assume.
Q: So if there’s this amateur league of journalists out there, trying to do what you do…
Thomas: It’s dangerous.

That bit about not making accusations without “absolute proof” is pretty funny given that Thomas routinely uses her front-row seat in the White House press room to berate Bush administration officials about our troops murdering civilians in Iraq.

Bush is too much of a gent to allow his snappy, young press cutie tear a patch off Old Heller.

Tuna,

Great observation! Certainly the idea of being a true gentleman toward a young lady would never have occurred to Mr. Bush’s predecessor. Clinton would have pawed her silly.

Any chance Bush let’s his press secretary just go off on this troll?

I mean, what purpose does she serve anyway? She has no relevance nor does she add anything intellectual to the discussion. Once, I would just love to see someone rip her a new one from that podium.

Anyone else tired of being lectured to by these bias, self-serving egomaniacs?

if it isn’t true. It could be out there and it could really muck up the whole picture.

LOL, because in the league of professional journalists everything is true and for the best…oh pff..
It’s time for Helen Thomas to take herself off her high and mighty pedestal and to be careful not to step in the BS she’s spitting out.

So it’s dangerous for the average American to voice their views or pass along news in a forum where there is no journalist to edit it and others might actually hear about it? She doesn’t just hate blogs, she hates free speech and free thought. She also considers the average American to be a moron. Did the thought ever occur to her that the average person has enough sense to consider the source???

Liberals don’t like free speech why do you think they came up with these stupid laws about campaign financiing and with McCain Fiengold. Free speech is only good when they are the ones doing the attacking.

JR–Bush is too much of a gent to allow his snappy, young press cutie tear a patch off Old Heller. But, if Hillary wins the big job, Hellen had better stick with the scripted questions–or those rumors involving Helen, a donkey, knee pads and Millard Fillmore might resurface.

That is too bad. Hoodlumman at File It Under Loves Helen! He always finds the cutest peictures of her…

doesn’t understand the ethics

Surely she’s kidding, right. Journalists and ethics, don’t make accusations without proof, something about tooth fairies and the abominable snowman. Helen lost it long ago,watching her BDS is pretty awesome though, and the best, most cutting thing they did to her irrelevant ass was to move her off of the first row of “journalists.”
