Jeff Dufour and Patrick Gavin, in the Tuesday edition of the Washington Examiner’s "Yeas & Nays" feature, reported that Helen Thomas gave a vehement denial of whether the media, and the White House press corps in particular, has a liberal bent. "Yeas & Nays got a sneak peak at Rory Kennedy’s new HBO documentary -- ‘Thank You, Mr. President: Helen Thomas at The White House’ -- which premieres next month, and Thomas is asked whether most White House reporters are liberal. ‘Hell no!’ she responds. ‘I’m dying to find another liberal open their mouths. Where are they!’ This is the second day in a row that Dufour and Gavin have reported on interesting quotations from members of the mainstream media.
During the documentary, Thomas went on to accuse the press of treating Former President Bill Clinton oppressively, especially during his second term. "[Thomas] exhibited great empathy for what President Clinton went through during the Monica Lewinsky scandal. ‘I don’t know how he could have taken what he took,’ said Thomas. ‘For reporters, it was a story you couldn’t avoid as much as you’d like to,’ but ‘no president has been subjected to that type of tyranny.’"
Perhaps Helen Thomas has high standards as to what defines a liberal, but one need only to look at one current and one former member of the White House press corps to cast doubt on her assertion that she is the only liberal member of the corps. During an episode of the syndicated "The Chris Matthews Show" in February 2006, Chris Matthews asked David Gregory, the White House correspondent for NBC News, "Reporters who hang around the White House, like you do, everyday of your lives. Is there a sense in the group that this guy's a winner or a loser? Just as a politician?" Gregory declared that the "overriding sense in the press corps is that, that he's [President Bush] losing."
CNN’s John Roberts, a former White House correspondent for CBS News, had Scott McClellan on as a guest when the former Bush White House spokesman’s "tell-all" book was about to be released in May 2008. Roberts, responding to an excerpt from McClellan’s book, declared, "[McClellan] finally articulates what we all came to believe...and further goes on to say that this war was unnecessary."
Roberts voiced similar sentiments about the Iraq War during his time at the White House. During a July 30, 2003 press conference with President Bush, he asked, "The world is a better place, and the region certainly a better place, without Saddam Hussein. But there's a sense here in this country, and a feeling around the world, that the U.S. has lost credibility by building the case for Iraq upon sometimes flimsy or, some people have complained, nonexistent evidence. I'm just wondering sir, why did you choose to take the world to war in that way?"

July 22, 2008 - 15:38 ET by Matthew BalanEven Thomas made fun of her own appearance. From the Examiner link above:
There was one other topic Thomas feels strongly about: Her sex appeal … or rather, her lack of it. When asked if she ever used her sexuality to benefit her reporting, Thomas laughed and said: “I didn’t have the potential for being a femme fatale. … Nobody made a pass at me … I don’t think I ever got a story out of my charm. Far from it. Maybe quite the opposite.”

This is a woman who accuses our military and our President of purposefully killing civilians and were supposed to worry about what someone says about her looks? Please Helen - tell us you think Pres Bush is ugly, that would be much less hateful.

Hi Jer
July 22, 2008 - 23:33 ET by BlondeIf you will forgive me, Helen is just an old horse that has been rode hard, and put away wet.
In ever sense of the sentiment.
She should have been put out to pasture eons ago.
I agree, though. The woman is plug ugly, but to denigrate her for her looks is just mean. One must grant her respect for climbing up through a male dominated profession, when that just wasn't done.
Having said that, though, she should have been put out to pasture eons ago.
Oh, how I'd love to say..."Goodnight, Helen". And never see her sour puss in the White House briefing room ever again.

Well, I'm sure the prevailing sentiment at NB regarding Helen would echo the old adage..."Beauty" may only be skin deep, but "ugly" goes clear to the bone.
True, Thomas is long past her prime--and peak lucidity. But I suppose she is a Washington institution of sorts, and is to be tolerated if not respected.
Jer
It depends on the person for me Jer
July 22, 2008 - 23:36 ET by Dee BunkMy point is that the things she says about Bush are much nastier and more hateful than what anyone here says about her looks. If she is going to run around saying such hateful things then she deserves what ever she gets.
If people started attacking a liberals looks who didn't say these hateful things then I'd have a problem with it too.
If Helen had died and people were saying this then I'd have a problem also.
Fair enough, Dee.

Dee, when I got to this
July 23, 2008 - 07:21 ET by JasonCDee, when I got to this board, all but one of the 50-odd comments were about here looks, so that's what I remarked upon. The content of the story? A liberal journalist denies liberal bias in the media? You call that a story? Next you'll tell me Sean Hannity truly believes Fox is fair and balanced. Whoop-de-f***in'-doo.
Jon Stewart is my hero? Wow, touche. Dead to rights [sarc off].
Finally, you'll have to apprise me of some serious examples of liberals being so ruthless about people's looks. I'm not talking about a caricature of Bush where his ears are a little big. I mean like the way that whenever a story is about HT in this blog, the comments become utterly vicious. Every time. Often through a weird pseudosexual context. Blatant misogyny. Though it is interesting to watch a few conservatives take note of the 200-odd comments about her appearance and backpedal, essentially saying "No, what we mean is that her outward appearance is like a reflection of her political ugliness...you know, her horrible tendency to be a professional liberal woman; and ugly."
Free, being down by 7 whole points makes me want to stomp my feet and clap my hands and chant "We will rock you", or "USA! USA!" Except then I'd be one of those unfortunate people who use sports references in political blogs.
"Issue-driven politics in red-and-blue America is like a man whose

Come on Jason - you can't be serious
July 23, 2008 - 09:46 ET by Dee BunkYou've never heard the comments about Catherine Harris or John Bolton? What about Ann Coulter (liberals say she looks like a man)? Then there's real broad generalizations like bill Maher and his "pasty white" comments or your favorite Red State that portrays people as ugly fat sloppy stupid hicks. Give me a break Jason the left are the first to poke fun of people for anything. Look at the treatment Hillary got from liberals just because she had the nerve to run against the Messiah. The Obama maniacs made every bit as much fun of her as any conservative for her looks and her laugh.
As I've said lots of times here, when you liberals can point to one - just one site where liberals treat conservatives with half the respect they are treated with here then maybe you'd have a point. Not one of you have taken the challenge yet so I assume there are none.
Now you liberals think that a conservative site shouldn't point out that a liberal journalist sees no media bias. Give me another f'ing break. There are many of your liberal compadres that won't even admit Helen Thomas his a bias hack.
I really can't understand why you guys think we should care if you think a story is appropriate for here or not. This is a conservative site and it makes no difference whether a liberal feels a story is worthy or not. If you want to argue the points then fine, but this superfluous nit picking is really a joke when you can't provide a single site on the liberal side that does better.
