We don’t think it’s right to throw someone out after a lifetime of hard work.
We value the fact that Helen Thomas posed hard questions to politicians of both parties and feel that such journalism is essential to our country.
We hold diverse opinions on the content of Helen’s 26-second-long response to a stranger holding a camera in her face. All of us call for Helen Thomas to remain in journalism and retire when SHE chooses, not when her enemies decree it.

Journalism is dead if people get fired for one comment. She was a legend.
SHAME on everyone turning their backs on her now. Disgraceful treatment.
Helen has been there forever. She deserves respect after all those years of reporting. Leave her alone.
total hit job. she was just a target for people who couldnt handle the truth. dont let them push her out
She was the only one asking real questions. Keep her on air.

She was baited. Cameras shoved in her face shes a human being not a robot. Ridiculous reaction from the press.
