And Then She Was Struck By Lightning…

From Dan Riehl comes this reality-bending statement from paleolithic “journalist” Helen Thomas. Thomas is the “reporter” who, you might remember, likes making leftist speeches during each White House press conference.

Q: Do you think technology is changing [journalism]? That a good reporter will always find a venue because there are so many media outlets now?

Thomas: No, but I do think it is kind of sad when everybody who owns a laptop thinks they’re a journalist and doesn’t understand the ethics. We do have to have some sense of what’s right and wrong in this job. Of how far we can go. We don’t make accusations without absolute proof. We’re not prosecutors. We don’t assume.

Q: So if there’s this amateur league of journalists out there, trying to do what you do…

Thomas: It’s dangerous.

Dangerous. This from the woman who recently asked, essentially, whether our military was going out of its way to kill civilians in Iraq.

She really should just get a hint of sunlight and turn to dust like the good ancient relic she is.
