Helen Thomas is at it again in an interview with CBC:

"I'm a liberal. I was born a liberal. I'll be one until I die. What else should a reporter be, when you see so much and when you have such great privilege and access to the truth."

Just a thought, but I'd shoot for neutral, unbiased and fair. Which of course makes me a crazy right winger, as shown by the reporter's followup question.

"But you know, it's interesting because I'm sure if somebody from the right was sitting here, they would say, if you asked the question what else should a reporter be, they would say 'Oh I don't know, how about objective."

Ms. Thomas responded the way the elite liberal media often does:

"You're not asking people not to think, not to care are you? But you are asking them to give a fair reporting, both sides and so forth, and I did it, for 57 years I was never, never accused of bias in my copy, but I had a right to be angry and unhappy. It's a trend that I saw in my country that I was close enough to see."

Does this not strike at the heart of liberal bias in the media? Take a close look at the highlighted portions of the quotes. First, Helen Thomas claims to be a liberal, and then makes the conclusion that a reporter should be nothing else. Next, you've got the interviewer coming back with a completely logical assumption, but then insinuating that only someone on the right would say that - not with the tone that suggests only the right believes in objectivity, but that only the right would be silly enough believe it wasn't objective. Finally, in response Ms. Thomas touches on one of the staples of liberal philosophy. Rather than responding to the question honestly, she turns it around on the interviewer and has a delusional notion that reporters cannot be objective if they only think. The problem is that thinking is only allowed if the thoughts presented agree with the viewpoints of the left. Think all you want, as long as it agrees with us.
