PJ Media

If ANYONE had made a similar comment about African Americans being sent back to Africa, or Mexican Americans sent back to Mexico, the entire press corps would be up in arms condemning the person who had made the comments. And rightly so.
Why some in the press seem to want to protect Helen Thomas who has made a career out of being obnoxious and judgemental is unbelievable. Free speech is guaranteed by our constitution, but we all have to live with what we say in the public and private forum. Let her retire, she has no place in the accepted media anymore. But take away any public respect she may have enjoyed at one time. She deserves it.
