Chris Muir: “Helen Thomas is the face of media today”

By guest blogger Sissy Willis of sisu

There's been a lot
of pussyfooting around the Helen Thomas Affair. We've been chided on Twitter for calling members of the legacy
media to task for not "taking sides." That is between the individual
journalist and his conscience, but there's a lot of willful
misunderstanding going on. Chris
Muir (above) captures the essence of our own argument with his
usual laconic wit. Our point is that in giving Thomas a pass by not
saying anything about her anti-Semitism, members of the legacy media may
be inadvertently enabling Israel's mortal enemies' public relations
war.

Update: "Inadvertently?" asks Adam in the comments. Our reply:

Good point, Adam. Still, the specific White House Correspondent I happened to have a private online conversation with was convincingly pro-Israel as a private citizen but naively bought into the Columbia Journalism School ideal of an unbiased media. Unbiased media? Give me a break. Who'd want that, even if it were humanly possible? Just acknowledge your biases and get on with it.
