Sunday Morning Thread: Should Hearst Fire Helen Thomas?

So far, they haven’t said.

Helen and Obama

Amazingly, she may skate. From Politico:

… there’s a sense amongst Thomas’ colleagues that little will — or should — be done within the White House Correspondents Association in reaction to this. Much of that is due simply to the high premium placed amongst journalists on one’s freedom of speech. Another is out of respect for Thomas’ storied career. And, lastly, Thomas turns 90 in just a few months and there is a feeling that she ought to be able to enter the sunset of her life with grace and respect.



Thomas shares her birthday with President Barack Obama, coincidentally. Last year, Obama brought her White House cupcakes to the briefing room, the image Drudge has above the banner headline. Given this latest dust-up, it’s not yet clear whether she’ll receive similar treatment from Obama this time around.

You make the call:
