ADC to Honor Helen Thomas at Convention and Inaugurate Journalism Scholarship

Washington DC | March 30th, 2009 | www.adc.org | Since the Kennedy Administration in the early 1960s many policies and initiatives have changed from President to President, but one thing has been consistent; the watchful eye of Arab-American Journalist Helen Thomas who broke all barriers for female journalists. As a central figure in the White House Press corps, and the current Dean, Helen Thomas has always asked tough questions. Even when much of the media establishment failed to question the evidence that led us into war in Iraq, Helen Thomas was among the few who maintained journalistic integrity and responsibility by putting tough questions before the White House.

Now, questioning her 10th President, Helen Thomas continues to be a role model for young journalists throughout this country. At this year’s National Convention, the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee will inaugurate a journalism scholarship in Helen Thomas’ name to be awarded to outstanding college students majoring in journalism. Helen Thomas will address the convention and more details about the scholarship application will be available soon.

Flashback: Tony Snow to Helen Thomas…”Thanks for the Hezbollah view.”

    Seriously, there is nothing worth honoring about a person who used every opportunity to undermine the freedom that allowed her the job.

    The Helen Thomas award should go to the best leftist propagandist in the country.

    Well, that explains a lot… Never knew that before. Should’ve guessed it, given her “Hezbollah view,” but with a name like Helen Thomas and grey-blonde hair, how was I to know? What’s her real name, then, and when does she go back to Hamas?

    Obviously she is showing her bias by hyphenating her name. Maybe she would do better by moving back to an arab islamist country and adorning and staying in her burqua.

    I nominate Roger Cohen of the NY Times for the scholarship. Cohen is always striving to show how hip, cool and how proMuslim he is. Cohen would not live in the Arab world for a minute but he likes to show off his coolness, and how he is a third world man. He recently bragged about how cool he was during his Iran trip and how he is far more sophisticated than the average boob who lives in the US. So why not give him a scholarship and let him study under the ayatollahs.

    Helen Thomas is one of the few people I know who is as ugly on the inside as she is on the outside…or as another commenter wrote, “beauty is skin deep, but liberal goes to the bone.” Unfortunately, we have to wait for history to set things right…a hundred years from now, Bush will get the full credit he deserves, obummer will be widely recognized as the only president to rank lower than carter, and helen (whose face could SINK a thousand ships) will be the classic example of activist-liberal journalism, or what independent thinkers and truthful journalists seek to avoid. I can see the day when a really bad news screwup will be referred to as a “helen,” and the award for the most biased journalism will be in her name……..

    You have a point. However, we do it because she is such a left-wing moonbat idiot. Looks are not important. But when they reflect the ugliness of a person’s soul, they are open for these kinds of digs. True, it is a bit beneath us. But she is a sitting duck! (My apologies to the ducks of the world!)
