June 7, 201016 yr In a recently released video, 50-year White House correspondent Helen Thomas said that Israelis should "get the hell out of Palestine" and "go home" to "Germany and Poland." Hearst Newspapers... her employer over the past decade announced today that she will be retiring immediately. What say you?

June 7, 201016 yr Author I thought she was in her 80's FB? She may be... she's been covering the White House since 1960.
June 7, 201016 yr Author So much for everyone being entitled to their own opinion. You may need to elaborate a bit here... what's your point?
June 7, 201016 yr She stated her opinion and the paper stated theirs. She "resigned". The media is a very powerful group. As a reporter you had better be working for a company that supports your viewpoint if you are going to spout your opinion.

What if she'd said, "All Blacks need to go back to Africa?"
June 7, 201016 yr I love older people. I am one. Burt sometimes the word "retire" really means something. "you Jews need to go back to Germany/Poland". Thats what I got out of her comment.
June 7, 201016 yr So anti-Semitism is a valid POV that should be supported by a newspaper or magazine? What if she'd said, "All Blacks need to go back to Africa?" The problem with Isreal is that it is defined as a Jewish state-hence your comment. I am pro-Isreal. Just because some don't support the creation of the nation of Isreal doesn't make them an anti-semite. That is a huge leap. No other country in the world besides Isreal is defined solely by their religous heritage.
June 7, 201016 yr She may be... she's been covering the White House since 1960. Actually the news reported that she is 89 years old.
June 8, 201016 yr As an American I fully support her right to express her viewpoint. I also fully support an employer firing an employer that does something that that they deem inappropriate.
June 8, 201016 yr Author Actually the news reported that she is 89 years old. :lol: :lol: :lol: Okay... okay... what I said was... ...50-year White House correspondent Helen Thomas said... ...50-year not 50-year-old... I thought she was in her 80's FB? And 89 still qualifies as "in her 80s"... barely, I'll admit, but legally, technically in her 80s...

Hearst Newspapers... her employer over the past decade announced today that she will be retiring immediately. What say you? Her pro-Palestinian stance is no surprise. What is more newsworthy is her "retirement".
