We can all find ways to draw that straight line, and get to the nub of the matter.

If "journalists" were like her, I'd be fighting to save newspapers.

15. A beautiful human being who hasn't forgotten |

that a journalist's job is to be a watchdog for the people.
We have more to learn, Helen. Glad you're sticking around.

16. Also would add that Helen Thomas . . . |
|
was a guest in Clinton Murchinson's home the night before the JFK assassiantion as the long list of conspirators arrived for their meeting.
Included, LBJ, Nixon, Hoover, McCloy -- long list of them --
THE NEXT DAY HELEN THOMAS FILED AN AFFIDAVIT ON THE MEETING AND THOSE WHO ATTENDED.
See Madelaine Brown tape/YouTube --

19. I posted this 2 days ago, but couldn't find it on youtube |
|
Thanks for doing this. I just didn't have the time to hunt for it on youtube to post.
This interview gave great insight into how Helen sees things today, and from her own unique perspective (for example, saying that she thought that every president "could have done better").
