Ironic considering “she” recently claimed the media was controlled by Jews.
(Daily Caller) — Former White House correspondent and columnist Helen Thomas’s anti-Semitic remarks haven’t stopped the Society of Professional Journalists from eliminating or renaming its “Helen Thomas Lifetime Achievement Award,” which recognizes individuals “for a lifetime of contribution to the journalism profession.”
SPJ, which has come under fire for recommending that journalists use the phrase “undocumented workers” rather than “illegal immigrants,” still advertises the award named for the disgraced former Hearst Newspapers columnist. The group reportedly considered eliminating or renaming the award following Thomas’s original remarks — when she said Israelis should “get the hell out of Palestine” — but has yet to act.
Calls for SPJ to do something about the award were renewed after Thomas made more anti-Semitic remarks in December at a forum in Dearborn, Mich., saying: “Congress, the White House and Hollywood, Wall Street, are owned by the Zionists. No question. We’re being pushed into a wrong direction in every way.”
